She’s joined much of the nation in lockdown during the coronavirus pandemic.
And Joan Collins appeared to be struggling with life away from glamorous celebrity events in a throwback post on Friday.
The actress, 87, poked fun at living in isolation by sharing a snap of her younger self in a promotional image from the 1986 miniseries Monte Carlo.

In the snap a 1940s-dressed Joan appears to be trapped behind bars, as the series saw her character caught up in the midst of spies during the Second World War.
The Dynasty star playfully captioned the post: ‘Still inside,’ along with a slew of crying laughing emojis.
Monte Carlo saw Joan appear alongside veteran actor George Hamilton, and originally aired as a two-night event on CBS.

Earlier this month Joan criticised the UK government’s decision to introduce new rules for people flying into the country, announcing that they would have to enter a 14-day quarantine.
Taking to Twitter, the actress hit out at the ‘ridiculous’ restrictions in a scathing rant, where she said the move was ‘punishing’ families who had been isolating for months.
In an impassioned post, she accused the government on ‘punishing’ families who had ‘blindly obeyed’ lockdown laws and urged Home Secretary Priti Patel to reconsider.

Scathing: She then wrote another tweet in which she said it was ‘impossible’ for people to plan their getaways this Summer, suggesting that it was like a betrayal to the hospitality industry
She wrote: ‘This #quarantine rule at airports preventing people wanting to get away for the summer is ridiculous and unfair.
‘Millions of families have blindly obeyed instructions to isolate for months and are now being punished. #pritiplease #PRITIPATEL.’

Calling it out: Last month Dame Joan also criticised the UK government for being ‘ageist’ to those over the age of 70 amid the ongoing coronavirus crisis
She fumed: ‘It’s impossible to plan a family summer holiday at the end of June. It’s unworkable, unfair and unenforceable and it’s stabbing the airline and hospitality industry to death. You must reconsider #pritiplease #PRITIPATEL.’
The TV star divided fans with her opinion, with some seeing her point, while others remarked that there’s more important things to worry about than a holiday.
This isn’t the only time the thespian has shared her strong opinion on the decisions imposed by the UK government amid the coronavirus pandemic.
Last month she criticised the government for being ‘ageist’ to those over the age of 70 amid the ongoing crisis.
In her column for The Spectator, the actress claimed government advice saying elderly people needed to stay indoors during the global pandemic was ‘utter discrimination.’
Holding nothing back, she said: ‘I’ve always thought Western society was terribly ageist, and I don’t just mean showbiz folk but across the board.
‘Then the UK government insisted the over-70s, horrible expression, were part of the vulnerables, an even more horrible expression, and should remain in lockdown, the most horrible expression of all, until a vaccine is found.
‘That was utter discrimination against the hardy individuals who have no health issues. But more harmful was bolstering the existing belief among the general public that the old should keep out of everyone’s way.’
The Royals star added that she was declared ‘stunningly healthy’ by her GP on her most recent visit, and has never limited herself by her age, which was true of others too.
