Patsy was clearly unwinding as she jetted along on the bike alongside her husband who was keeping out any chill in a cobalt blue gilet.  

Last month, Patsy revealed that recently she broke down in tears while out shopping, as she worried about how the poor would navigate the coronavirus pandemic.

The star – who is now based in Malibu, California – took to Instagram on Tuesday to share her emotional post, in which she also admitted that she went out panic buying, before guilt got the better of her.

Uploading an image of the sun rising over her breathtaking ocean view, the actress shared that she decided to address her worries by donating food to charity.

She wrote, in part: ‘Yesterday I became very overwhelmed whilst having dinner . I didn’t say anything because my little boy was sitting there and like any of us we want to keep happy so that the kids do not become scared at this time .

‘It past but then I thought how that moment can get us from nowhere . I went out panic buying , then I felt bad so I donated to @feedingamerica for the foodbanks so that it helps everyone eat .

‘I cried in Costco as I thought of the people that are pressured to buy food & essentials Incase of a lockdown , but what if they don’t have money and are completely overwhelmed with fear that can have a knock on effect mentally for them and their children.
