How lockdown has fuelled rise in terrible celebrity Instagram backdrops – from crisp aisles to car parks & washing lines

JUST a few months ago, your average celebrity Instagram page would be filled with red carpets, exotic beaches and swanky studios.

But with lockdown putting a halt on life as we know it – as well as flights abroad – the likes of Jesy Nelson, Jacqueline Jossa and many of the Love Island stars have been forced to get creative.

Refusing to let the pandemic scupper their photoshoots, stars have resorted to hilariously bad Instagram backdrops.

With snaps taken in their own back yards – complete with leaves and debris – and more taken in supermarket crisp aisles, on doorsteps and even in car parks, it’s proved even a pandemic can’t stop an impromptu fashion shoot.

And with actresses, reality stars and musicians forced to make use of their own homes, it’s given fans a rare glimpse inside where they’re spending their time shut away from the world.

Here’s a few of our favourite creative Instagram shots…
