She said: “Loads of stars seem to be doing it, and I stumbled across my old wedding dress when I was tidying up in the children’s play room – I thought I’d torment them by putting it on.

“They were a bit gobsmacked when I went outside in it to put the bins out, and got on with the housework in it.

“I’ve posted the pictures on social media and I’m expecting some of my friends now to take up the challenge.
