ALESHA Dixon was unfairly slammed after sharing snaps of herself sunbathing outside in what looked like a park during the coronavirus pandemic - but was in fact her huge garden.

The mum-of-two posted pictures of her relaxing in the sunshine with her family on social media and some of her 988,000 followers quickly mistook her huge lawn for a public space.

The UK Government has been clear about social distancing and staying at home to save lives and relieve the strain on the NHS amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Thanks to the hot weather this weekend the Government had to clamp down even harder on those flouting the rules by sunbathing in parks.

The Britain's Got Talent judge, 41, innocently uploaded a series of sun-soaked photographs on Instagram, and some angry fans mistakenly thought she was out in public.

One fan wrote: "You’re not meant to be out in public space - ohh wait...looks amazing x."

 It's easy to see why fans thought it might be a public space rather than a private garden

It’s easy to see how they could confuse the star's gigantic garden for a park because of its size and perfectly cut grass.

Lots of disbelieving fans asked: "Is that your garden?"

Another follower questioned: "Please tell me this is your garden and your not out in a park??????[sic]"

While some realised they were looking at the garden of a celebrity, commenting: “Wow looks like a park! Very lucky!!”

Making the most of the gorgeous weather, Alesha headed out to her garden to spend the day with her husband Azuka Ononye and their daughters Azura, 6, and seven-month-old Anaya.

Captioning her photos, she wrote: "Heaven."

Her fans' concerns came after the UK coronavirus death toll rose by 439 in 24 hours, to 5,413.
