She said on Instagram Stories today: “I’ve had so many messages asking me what I bought from the shops yesterday.

“I can assure you it wasn’t toilet roll or hand gel.”

The Loose Women star showed how she had stocked up on cat food, bars of soap, daffodils - as they made her think of “better times”- and the staple item of fake tan. 

Stacey explained: “I don’t want to be on lockdown and pale.”

In the caption, she explained: “I picked up my gradual tan moisturiser, so if I’m in isolation I’ve still got a nice glow.”

This comes as supermarkets are introducing widespread rationing for the first time since World War Two due to the coronavirus epidemic hitting the UK.

Sainsbury’s, Tesco and Asda today set a limit of three for any item and two for essential products, such as toilet roll and handwash.

Stacey was left in hysterics this week when a troll suggested that she knew about the coronavirus outbreak weeks before everyone else.

The TV star has been stockpiling everything from toilet roll to laundry detergent and crisps for weeks and showing off her now famous 're-fill' cupboard with her followers on Instagram.

And now a troll has accused Stacey of knowing about the deadly virus weeks before everyone else.

The accusation left Stacey in hysterics as she laughed at the ridiculousness of the fan theory.

"Sometimes I come across messages and honestly they really tickle me," she told fans while reclining on her bed.

"I just got a message from someone saying, 'You must have known corona was coming! Otherwise, why would you even make a refill cupboard?'"

"Yes Susan, that's right!" she laughed using the nickname she has for her trolls.

"Before the government told anyone else - they told me! Me the Chinese government are like this [crosses fingers]."

This comes as schools across the whole of the UK will be closed after Friday as Britain desperately tries to contain the coronavirus outbreak at the "right time".

Boris Johnson said this evening that schools will be open on Friday as usual but then will shut "until further notice"; for all children - except to those of key workers and vulnerable kids.

The PM refused to rule out locking down the whole of London - or even restricting people's movement.

This follows the coronavirus UK death toll soaring to 104 with 33 more deaths in single day as killer bug takes hold.
