Joan Collins is getting to work following a storm at her holiday home in the south of France. Keeping fans updated, the 91-year-old revealed that a storm had left "water everywhere" at her plush pad abroad. "Someone's got to do it," she quipped, sweeping a luxurious patio area adorned with woven sofas.

Joan, who is on vacation with her husband Percy, appeared upbeat as she tended to the terracotta tiles. Among the comments, Elizabeth Hurley – who just last week enjoyed a reunion with Joan – replied: "Domestic Goddess….who knew?"

Elizabeth's son, Damian Hurley, was also quick to respond. "Miss you already" he penned after returning from their joint vacation.

Damien, Elizabeth, Joan and Percy recently reunited at her home in the south of France

In September 2023, Joan was asked to name her happy place. "In the south of France. We try to visit my place every summer. It's incredibly relaxing," she told Ideal Home

"There's no traffic, it's right in the middle of the hills of Provence and has a fantastic view. I can see the sea in the distance and rolling hills around. It balms the soul."

Joan and Percy wed in 2002

Joan and Percy, who tied the knot in 2002, are often seen travelling together on Instagram. Percy is Joan's fifth husband and during a candid chat with HELLO!, she lovingly referred to him as her "soulmate."

"It is my fifth marriage, and my happiest, and last. Percy is wonderful, he's my soul mate. That doesn't mean we don't bicker but we are very understanding of each other," she noted.

The actress has never been phased by her 32-year age gap with husband Percy

The couple may share a 32-year age gap, but it's never phased Joan. "I believe in marriage — which is why I've done it five times — and I finally have a wonderful marriage," the actress previously explained to Louis Theroux in a BBC documentary. 

"Percy is 30-odd years younger than me, but I don't even feel my age. I don't even talk about it, I don't even think about it."
