She elaborated: ‘It’s just that every day is so uncharted. You wake up and you wonder what day it is and then you wonder what date it is and sometimes what month. 

‘And then you think, “Well what do I do today?” And if the prospect is, “Well, what is there to do today?”‘ 

The Oscar winner went on to add that she does not think theatres will be able to open anytime soon as the pandemic continues.

She said: ‘It’s a desperate feeling. Will they ever open again? I don’t know. 

‘Certainly, I’m sure not in my lifetime. I can’t see how it’s going to recover… I’m not saying it should be more prioritised than anything else but it just is going to be a very serious affect on all of us.’

During lockdown Judi initially began appearing virtually in Sam’s choreographed TikTok dances from their individual homes.

Sam, who has gained a huge following on TikTok over the past three months thanks to his team-ups with his famous grandmother, reunited with Judi and roped in his mum, actress Finty Williams, for a family dance. 

Keeping their distance, the three took part in the Laxed Siren Beat dance, looking perfectly synchronised. 

‘When Bojo let’s you film a family TikTok #fyp #fy #foryou #mother #grandmother #viral #dance,’ Sam captioned the video. 

Sam’s videos have gone viral not just for his and Judi’s dance moves but also because many fans have mistaken the red-head for singer Ed Sheeran.
