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

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.”

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.
