A mother has created a hilarious self-isolating take on Gloria Gaynor’s I Will Survive amid the coronavirus lock-down.
Victoria Emes, from London, has become a viral sensation thanks to her amusing clip – which sees her dressed in a shimmering, blue Lycra bodysuit and singing along to the iconic hit.
However, the mother has changed the lyrics to reflect the strange times of today and instead of focusing on heartbreak, she sings about self-isolating because of the coronavirus pandemic.
‘I know it’s time to say we’re going to be just fine, she says, ‘I’ve got snacks, plenty of gin, their home school schedule can go straight in the f****** bin.’
The revised tune has become an instant hit online, after being widely shared across Twitter and viewed more than 28,000 times on YouTube.

Giving it her all, Victoria belts out: ‘First I was afraid, I was petrified, kept thinking how I’d ever live without the world outside.
‘But then I spent so many nights scoffing crisps and necking wine, I know it’s time to say we’re going to be just fine.
‘And so we’re here, stuck in this room. I don’t know when we’re getting out, but no better place to face the doom.
‘I should’ve bought that bag of rice, I should’ve stockpiled more bog roll if I had known for just one second I’d have such a messy hole.
‘But I’ve got snacks, plenty of gin, their home school schedule can go straight in the f****** bin.

‘I want to smash my husband’s face, I want to wave my kids goodbye, but I won’t crumble, I won’t lay down and die, oh no, not I, I will survive, as long as I have internet I know I’ll stay alive.’
She finishes with: ‘I’ve got all this time to fill, while trying to not get ill but I’ll survive, I will survive,’ and a round of enthusiastic dancing.
Sharing the video on her social media accounts, Victoria said: ‘This goes out to all the s**** in isolation wondering how the f*** you’re going to live through an indefinite number of months stuck indoors with your d******* family.
‘You are not alone. Not going to lie, it’s going to be tough because let’s face it – partners can be utter p***** and kids, well, they’re the biggest w****** of them all. But babes, we can f****** do this.
‘My advice – employ every coping strategy you can think of; dancing, cooking, singing, laughing, meditation, w****** (personal fave), hiding in a cupboard for five minutes of peace – whatever the f*** you need to do to just survive this utter madness.’
Twitter users (pictured) were quick to praise the video, with one person writing: ‘This is the content I need right now!’
‘We’ll get there girls… one gin/wine/crisp/chocolate biscuit/tear saturated day at a time,’ she added.

Another said: ‘This is brilliant and I definitely needed the laugh, thank you. Would definitely love to see move videos like this please.’
A third impressed individual added: ‘Lol after a stressful day at work this is exactly what I needed to see,’ as a fourth person wrote: ‘Victoria, you rock, and may have just saved humanity.’
The UK Government announced on Monday that Britain is on lock-down for the next three weeks, and all non-essential businesses must close.
