He wrote: ‘Proud 🙂 Thank you so much to ALL the NHS and the carers up and down the country.’

Meanwhile, writing in her OK! magazine column, Emily detailed the reality of being a doctor at this scary time, noting her awareness of her increased risk of catching Covid-19. 

She wrote: ‘At the time of writing this, myself, Pete and the kids are all fine. As a doctor, I am obviously continuing to work as normal unless any of us get any symptoms.

‘The chances are some us are probably going to get it, but we just have to be sensible and listen to the government’s advice.’

While Emily continued her vital work at their local NHS hospital, Peter Andre turned school teacher for the day as he home-schooled his four children.

The Mysterious Girl hitmaker put down a huge polka dot picnic mat for his four children to begin their home-schooling with an arts and crafts day.

Peter’s post came just hours before prime minister Boris Johnson impost a nationwide lockdown in a bid to reduce the spread of coronavirus.

As of Monday, 335 people have died out of over 5,683 Covid-19 cases in the UK, and now people are not allowed to leave their homes – with a few exceptions.

Only essential work that cannot be done at home, exercise, and picking up food or medical supplies are valid reasons to go outside. 

Weddings and social gatherings have been outlawed and all shops have been banned from opening except for those selling food and medicines. 

Sporting events, music festival and other social gatherings have been either cancelled or postponed due to the crisis.
