Dancing On Ice's Alex Murphy unveils hilarious before and after lockdown look

Reality TV star Alex Murphy has shown just how well she is coping with the coronavirus lockdown.

The Dancing On Ice professional skater, 29, has been taking part in social distancing measures just like the rest of us.

Taking to Instagram to show off what she has been up to at home, the skater delivered some relatable content to her followers.

Alex posted two photos together: one from a glamorous photoshoot, the other a photo of her reclining at home with a butchered box of Ferrero Rocher chocolates, a large bag of popcorn, and necking a Peroni beer.

The star was wearing some comfortable loungewear with a relaxed up-do bun hairstyle.

She captioned the before and after: "What. Has. Happened. To. Me."

Her hilarious post prompted praise from her fans in the replies.

One follower wrote: "This is literally reality.... what I want to look like in my head and what im actually doing and look like..... p.s. you still look fab!!!!!"

Another commented: "These are hilarious!! This is my lockdown entertainment!"

"These pics are giving me life," echoed a third fan.

While another commenter replied to the post: "These lockdown posts are literally everything."

Finally, a fan concluded: "This series is probably the only good thing to come out of this whole thing."

It had been a wild few weeks for Alex ahead of the coronavirus lockdown as she won the 2020 series of Dancing On Ice with her celebrity partner Joe Swash.

Alex wrote on Instagram after their surprise win against bookies' favourite Perri Kiely.

She revealed: "I always believed in trusting the process, but if I have learned anything this year, it is that fate has a way of bringing people together."

The skater continued: "Thank you so much @realjoeswashy. There are not enough ways to say thank you for everything you've done for me.

"You've been the hardest worker, an absolute joy to work with each day, and my emotional support when I’m away from home."
