From shaving your head bald to collecting firewood, celebrities have shared with ITV News how they were coping and what they were doing during the coronavirus lockdown.

Hugh Bonneville (1976) , who left Dulwich Prep for Sherborne, is well known for his roles as Robert Crawley, the Earl of Grantham, as Henry Brown in Paddington bear and as Lord Mountbatten in the Last Viceroy of India. On ITV he shared his top tips on how to pass the time during Lockdown. 

Why not shave your head because let's face it you're not going to a barber anytime soon."  Hugh added: "Next, why don't you take up some of those unfinished projects, for instance, I've got this overcoat, I'm very fond of it but it has always had a button missing. I've finally tracked down a button and I'm going to sew it on, but the thing I am most excited about is this tapestry. I started it sometime ago when my wife's sister got engaged, I thought that it would make a lovely wedding present." Bonneville continued: "As you can see I finished about 70 or 80% of it, unfortunately my sister-in-law and her husband are about to celebrate their 23rd wedding anniversary. I think it's about time I finished it.

He finished off be saying “This is Hugh Bonneville, ITN, on the road from procrastination to action."
