When she isn't busy filming the new series the TV star, 33, can relax in her cosy apartment, which she has shown off to her 156 thousand followers on Instagram.

Cici has revealed her chic taste throughout the property. In one snap, the actress sat perched on her sunshine yellow sofa which she's accessorised with pink velvet cushions.

The star also has the option of reclining with a good book on her elephant grey loveseat, that's large enough for two.

Chestnut laminate flooring can also be seen in the snaps, as well as potted plants including a large house spider plant in one corner of the living room.

Cici has been teaching virtual Pilates classes from home in lockdown and has shared photos of her workout space in her open plan kitchen / diner.

She previously explained how doing Hot Pilates six days a week has not only helped with her mental health, but improved her look and helped her to tone up.

Sharing pics of her progress on Instagram, she said: "The one on the left I remember looking at and feeling good about the fact that I’d lost 2lbs.

"Now when I look at it, I remember what a bad headspace I was in and how stressed I was. I wasn’t eating enough and was just trying to get through the day without crying.

"I then had a word with myself, and started listening to lots of Oprah podcasts, I was meditating and got on top of my yoga practice."

Cici completed her teaching training in Inferno Hot Pilates and said she spent time "focusing on what I wanted around me and ‘who’ I wanted around me".

She added: "That little s*** called Lockdown presented itself. It really poked at my mental state and seemed to test all the things I’d been working so hard on."

Although many will recognise the blonde beauty for her role on First Dates, CiCi has also made several other television and film appearances.
