'Don't cry for me, I'm the cleaner!' Elaine Paige, 72, dons a gold sparkling blazer and rubber gloves as she giggles and sings while scrubbing her bathroom amid coronavirus lockdown

As part of the over-70s age group, performing legend Elaine Paige has been forced to self-isolate to protect herself from the spread of COVID-19.

But the West End star, 72, wasn't letting the lockdown get her down on Wednesday, as she took to her bathroom, looking glam as always, to scrub away any germs.

Donning a gold sparkling blazer and a pair of industrial black rubber gloves, Elaine sang 'Don't cry for me, I'm the cleaner!' in a nod to musical Evita, as she giggled and scrubbed her bathroom tiles.

The Shakespeare In Love actress offered some light-hearted words of support on her daughter's Twitter page on Wednesday.

The veteran actress, 85, dressed up in a pair of fluffy dog ears as she addressed the camera and told her fans to 'keep laughing' as the world faces uncertain times.

Several of the UK's over-70s stars have appeared this week, via video call, on Good Morning Britian.

Len Goodman and Gyles Brandreth - the latter of whom has had a show with Dame Judi cancelled because of the crisis - were the latest to report to the show on Wednesday, as they self-isolate at home amid COVID-19.

And chatting to the studio via video call, Len, 75, admitted that he's at a loss as to what to do with himself to pass the time, and to what the rules of self-isolation are.

He told Piers Morgan and Ranvir Singh: 'I'm not clear [where I can go], however I've made it clear in my own mind, I'm not going to go down pubs, I'm not going anywhere where there's gangs of people.

'I'll go for a walk round my garden, I met my son and my grandchildren in a park, I got myself out and about in a safe way.

'I listen to your programme, personally I don't think anyone knows what to do. I'm organising my sock drawer, and doing a jigsaw, I'm just keeping active.

Likening the global pandemic to the war, he went on: 'During the war everybody looked after everyone else. I've spoken to my mum and dad about it, you can't just pop in and that feels awkward. I'm a little bit confused whether I should.'

Gyles, 72, also spoke to the morning show about his disappointment at having to cancel his theatre show with Judi and that there's 'no choice' but to remain at home.

'We have to take that hit there's no choice,' he said. 'I was due to be opening a show on Friday with Dame Judi Dench and now all the people... they've postponed. 

'We will, as Dame Judi said, we'll be back!'

He added: 'People over 70 are being told to social distance, basically if you can stay at home.

'I've got the dictionary, I've never had it before! It's going to keep me busy for the next 12 weeks.'

On Tuesday's show, Christopher Biggins and Dame Esther Rantzen spoke to Good Morning Britain via video messaging, to weigh in on the current global coronavirus pandemic.

Actor Christopher, 71, and broadcaster Esther, 79, are both in the age group of UK citizens urged to self-isolate at the moment as well. 

Speaking from his kitchen, Christopher explained that he's going to use the time to redecorate - but has serious concerns for the financial impact this will have on young performers, as theatre shows are being cancelled across the UK.

'I'm going to redecorate my house, I'm going to rearrange it,' he said. 'My worry is the older person who lives on their own, I'm worried for their mental health.

'I think it could be disastrous for a lot of people.

'I worry about all the theatres that are closed and the cinemas; there's going to be a lot of young actors out of work.' 

Esther gave an update of her situation, having appeared on the show from self-isolation on Monday.

Esther is the founder of an organisation called The Silver Line, which is a 24/7 phone line in place for the elderly to use so that they can speak to someone and not feel lonely.

Esther revealed that it has been used a lot since the pandemic took hold of the world.

'The Silver Line has had huge demand for our service. I suggest we ring each other up, talk to each other. If you need help - ask for it,' she said.
