Kate Ferdinand has admitted to feeling “overwhelmed” and suffering "bad days" during her time in isolation during the nationwide lockdown.

The 28 year old is currently holed up with husband Rio, 41, and his three children Lorenz, 13, Tate, 11, and eight year old Tia.

But the former The Only Way Is Essex star has now candidly opened up on the emotions she has felt during her time in quarantine on social media.

She partook in a question and answer session on her Instagram page, when one of the blonde beauty's 1.3million followers asked for tips on how to deal with anxiety, adding she's "REALLY suffering with all this going on and the children being home."

Kate offered her advice, writing back: "Most importantly I hope your ok [sic]" alongside a red love heart emoji.

"Honestly, I have generally been feeling quite good but I have had some bad days where I have been feeling really really overwhelmed.

"I struggle if i don't have a routine, I'm quite good at recognising what I struggle with so I have tried my best to sort some kind of routine to stay on track & have small goals — even if a goal is cleaning the kitchen. [sic]

"The small goals help me stay focused and my mind busy saying that, I'm also trying not to be to hard on myself if I am struggling. [sic]

"Tomorrow we have decided to have a rest day, relax, try not to do many chores and jobs and I am telling myself THATS OK! [sic]"

She added: "Exercise also really helps, walking the dog and having some fresh air and also listening to your body.

"If it's time to rest and relax don't put too much pressure on yourself."

Her words of advice come after she was hilariously pranked in an April Fool's Day live workout by Rio.

During the warm up of their routine on their Ferdinand Fitness YouTube channel, the retired footballer pretended he had pulled his groin, much to the hilarity of their fans.

In the clip, Kate tells her fans: "To be fair my legs are sore already, so I don't know how I'm going to get on today," as Rio starts moaning in pain and holding his inner thigh.

A stunned Kate looks at her husband for a couple of seconds before telling viewers: "He's acting guys, he does this all the time."

"I'm not, I'm not, I'm not," Rio says, taking a seat on the edge of the sofa.

Laughing, Kate says: "Rio, really? In the warm up? He's acting," as Rio injects: "I'm not, I'm serious, I've actually pulled my groin."

"What do you want me to do?," his spouse asks, telling viewers: "I think he's acting, so I'm going to carry on with the work out."

"I'm not, I'm actually serious," Rio insists, with Kate asking: "What do you want me to do? Should I be carrying on or should I be helping you?"
