Disney films, virtual PE classes and iPad maths: Celebrity parents in isolation

Celebrity parents across the globe are being forced to stay indoors in self-isolation with their children due to coronavirus.

This includes Stacey Solomon, 30, who has three children - Zachary, 12, Leighton, seven, and Rex, ten months.

She revealed yesterday she was taking part in Joe Wicks' live streamed PE class for the nation, posting videos of her two oldest children in their PE kits jumping around in front of the television as they watched Joe AKA The Body Coach.

And it wasn't just the kids who got involved - Stacey's boyfriend Joe Swash also joined in much to her amusement.

But home schooling her children has not been quite as much fun, and Stacey posted a video of her two older boys eating breakfast this morning with the worried caption: "Schoolwork is coming in thick and fast and we are NOT keeping up.

"It does make me feel anxious but I keep reminding myself we can only do what we can and try our best.

"I hope you're all okay."

She's not the only one finding home schooling tough - Peter Andre, 47, revealed he is at "breaking point" as he tries to teach all four of his kids.

He posted videos of his children with ex wife Katie Price - Princess, 12, and Junior, 14, arguing with him about being taught.

Princess called her dad "dumb" while Junior complained he only had one lesson and needed eight.

Desperate Peter wrote on Instagram : “I am at breaking point and it’s only day 2. #helplineneededforparentswhohavesuddenlybecometeachers #payriseforteachers.”

His children with wife Emily, Theo and Amelia, can also be heard moaning in the background,as their mum is a nurse and so is working, leaving Pete in charge.

Meanwhile, Victoria Beckham, 45, posted photos of her home set up of iPads, crayons and work sheets for her eight-year-old Harper.

Kim Kardashian, 39, has been building forts inside her $20 million mansion with children North, six, Saint, four, Chicago, two, and Psalm, ten months.

Sharing a video of the children playing around in the makeshift castle with her 162 million followers, Kim wrote: "This is the ultimate fort. Oh, I see you hanging out there. Let’s go see what’s in there."

Kim later filmed little Saint stealing focus from baby Psalm, as he seems to have gone a little stir crazy from being indoors all day.

Taking to her Instagram stories on Friday, the Keeping Up With The Kardashians star shared a video of the six-year-old's creation which consisted of a cardboard doll house.

Inside the adorable quarantined abode, North kept teddy bear versions of her parents safe as they cuddled up surrounded by blankets and throws while avoiding the outside world.

her sister Kylie Jenner, 22, has revealed her two-year-old Stormi is already bored in isolation as her mum posted selfie videos showing off her shorter, redder natural hair.

Stormi cooed delightedly as Kylie filmed her daughter's exciting new temporary body art for her Instagram.

Someone who is very new to being a parent is former TOWIE star Lucy Mecklenburgh, 28, who gave birth just two weeks ago.

She is only able to take Roman for one walk outside a day in the current circumstances, and has been pictured walking through a park with fiancé Ryan Thomas also in tow.

Her Instagram shows fitness guru Lucy is unable to exercise much just yet, but Ryan has been occupying himself by pretending to squat using Roman as a weight.

Lucy joked that they were taking over her fitness brand and re named it Results With Ryan and Roman.

She also posted a gorgeous snap of the new parents beaming down at their little one, and wrote in the caption: "Our first walk.. this one makes staying home so much better".

The Rooneys were another one of the 800,000 people who tuned into Joe Wicks' online PE class.

Kai, ten, Kit, six, Klay, four, and Cass, one, all joined in as they jumped around and touched their toes in an adorable video mum Coleen Rooney, 33, posted.

"You are unique and that’s what makes you fabulous".

She has also been attempting to homeschool their three children, but posted a video of the empty school chairs in her home - with no kids to be seen.

"Home school is going really well in our house!" she joked, adding: " #Homeschool #isolation #3kids #Lockdown #MummyIsExhausted ".
