Liverpool star James Milner has become a social media star in playing up to his no frills image by filming himself doing domestic chores whilst the Premier League is suspended due to the coronavirus outbreak.

The former England midfielder first posted images of himself sorting his tea bags one by one as a response to teammate Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain posting a glamorous video of himself and his pop star girlfriend Perrie Edwards dancing on their stairs.

The players have been left to their own devices after team training was halted due to the coronavirus pandemic. “‘Hey Alex_OxChambo Barrels of laughs here in Milner household as well-rationing the tea bags for the week #crazydays #somuchtogetonwith #notgotthemovestocompete’,” tweeted Milner.

After rationing his tea bags, Milner took to his garden and filmed himself nose down to the lawn clipping the grass with a pair of scissors and a ruler to ensure each blade was the same height.

“Now the tea bags are sorted I’ve got time to level out this lawn,’” he tweeted.

The Premier League is in abeyance since last Friday after both Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta and Chelsea winger Callum Hudson-Odoi tested positive for coronavirus.
