Brave George Gilbey has got a job at a supermarket to help the nation amid COVID-19.
The Gogglebox star, 36, hopped back on to his social media account for the first time in a whole year to update fans on his plans as the pandemic sweeping the globe.
In the wake of the coronavirus crisis, the reality TV star has swapped his sofa on Gogglebox for stacking shelves in a supermarket.
The TV personality has signed himself up to hours at his local Morrisons to offer a helping hand.
George posed in his Morrisons uniform for a photograph ahead of his nightshift at the supermarket giant.
He wrote: “Everyone gotta do there bit... #coronavirus.” [sic]
George then added the hashtag “nightshift”, suggesting he has been stocking shelves in preparation for busy mornings at the supermarket.
Hero supermarket workers have been applauded by Brits all over the country as they make sure the nation has enough food as the coronavirus pandemic continues to ramp up in the UK.
The employees of various grocery stores have been facing incredible pressure from panic buying and stockpiling customers.
They have also been trying to keep their stores as clean and safe as possible to prevent the spread of the killer disease.
Each morning, pictures emerge on social media showing queues of people lining up two metres apart outside supermarkets as they scramble to get their hands on essential items.
George showed he was ready to help the nation by signing up to the supermarket.
His new job at Morrisons could see him get an increased bonus this year as the grocer will pay its entire workforce triple the current rate.
The supermarket said a "thank you" bonus will apply for the next 12 months and shop floor staff will benefit the most.
It comes after Tesco, Sainsbury's and Aldi pledged to give all workers a 10% increase on all hours worked while Asda said it will give all staff an extra week's pay in June.
All frontline colleagues will receive a 6% bonus on their earnings for the next year, rather than just the next 8-12 weeks, Morrisons said.
The changes represent a bonus payment of £1,050 for a full-time frontline colleague compared to the £351 that would have been paid last year.
The latest figures show that a total of 4,934 patients have died in hospital after testing positive for coronavirus in the UK as of 5pm on Saturday, the Department of Health said.
The astounding number is a massive jump of 621 from 4,313 the day before.
