    Just like the rest of us, the world's top celebrities have all been told to stay at home during these strangest of times.

    Being natural-born entertainers and creatives, though, many musicians, actors and artists have been keen to share their experiences of self-isolation.

    Some of their videos have captured the collective mood of the online community, while others have landed a little wide of the mark.

    We'll let you decide which is which...

    1. Liam Gallagher is feeling Soap-ersonic

    To fight the spread of Covid-19, we are all being advised to wash our hands thoroughly, and leading the way in this regard is rock 'n' roll star Liam Gallagher.

    The former Oasis frontman treated his followers to a series of kitchen sink re-workings of his old band's songs, such as Soap-ersonic and Champagne Soap-ernova.

    He really ought to wash his mouth out too, as most of them come with a language warning. That said, Wonderwash (above) is good clean fun.

    2. Madonna's ray of light in the bath

    Everywhere is pretty much closed now, right? So if you can, there's never been a better time to enjoy a long soak in the bath.

    The Queen of Pop, Madonna, was quick to realise this and she had another revelation in the tub too, about just how democratising a worldwide pandemic is.

    "That's the thing about Covid-19. It doesn't care about how rich you are, how famous you are, how funny you are, how smart you are, where you live, how old you are, what amazing stories you can tell," the star pontificated, while filming herself naked in a milky bath full of rose petals, as you do.

    "It's the great equaliser and what's terrible about it is what's great about it."

    3. Mindfulness with Lizzo

    Looking after our mental health will be a key component to getting through this crisis and with that in mind another US singer, Lizzo, invited fans to indulge in a spot of musical meditation.

    The session began with the signature sound of the Grammy-winner's flute before she delivered her soothing mantra.

    "I think that fear can spread so much hatred and fear can spread so much negative energy and fear can spread the disease even quicker than the disease can," she said.

    "When I got back to LA I noticed that the fear was heightened here. So I wanted to empower everybody and I wanted to let you guys know that we have power, you have power. You have power to eliminate fear."

    Amen to that.
