Self-isolating is proving to be tough for some celebrities in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic.
British singer Sam Smith has shared how he is coping on Instagram.
He posted a photo set of himself, captioned "stages of a quarantine meltdown".
The star admitted in clips posted to his Instagram stories he was "bored s******* during his time in self-isolation.
"I'm currently in my house. I have got a bit of headache and allergies but I think I'm alright. But I wanted to stay in just to be safe.
"This is a weird time. I wanted to reach out to every one of you right now, and send my love. I really really hope you're okay and I hope you're mentally alright."
In a later post, Smith shared who he was "staying home for" after being nominated by Elton John.
"I stay home for my incredible family," he wrote.
"This is unprecedented times and my thoughts and heart is with everyone right now (sic). We are in this together."
Elsewhere, talk show host Ellen DeGeneres attempted to dispel her boredom by calling up her famous friends, including John Legend and Chrissy Teigen, and Friends' star Jennifer Aniston.
"What are you doing?" she asks Jennifer Aniston.
"Uh ... not much different since the last time we spoke about three minutes ago," Aniston says.
She tells Ellen she is still cleaning out her closet, and asks how Ellen's puzzle is coming along.
"The table wasn't big enough, I had to get rid of it," the talk show host says.
"I'm keeping busy, I read a book this morning, I read a book to kids this morning."
Ellen asks Aniston for what else people can do to keep busy, and Aniston suggests reading more books and doing a puzzle on the floor instead of a table.
