With everyone staying at home away from friends and loved ones, we all need a little bit of fun and laughter right now. And Rebecca Gibney has delivered just that.
The 55-year-old Packed to the Rafters star has shared a morale-boosting video to her Instagram profile, which features herself and several other high-profile Aussie celebrities lip syncing along to John Paul Young’s classic hit Love Is In The Air.

“The world is a tough place right now. I even hesitate to post this because some may see it as frivolous in such a time of uncertainty but I think we could all use a break from the sadness and when I asked a few mates if they wanted to spread a bit of joy these brave kind souls didn’t hesitate to say yes,” she explained.

“We also want to send out a massive THANK YOU to our incredible medical professionals and all the wonderful essential folk who are out there protecting and providing. Thank you also to everyone that has heeded the call to stay home”.
She then shared an inspirational quote seen on a friend’s Facebook profile that read: “And then the whole world walked inside and shut their doors and said we will stop it all. Everything. To protect our weaker ones, our sicker ones, our older ones. And nothing. Nothing in humankind ever felt more like love than this”.
“And on that note I hope you enjoy this little bit of love from us. Stay safe, stay well and Be Kind”.

Rebecca has also been using her social media account in light of the coronavirus pandemic to support those working in the arts who have lost their jobs during this trying time.
Alongside a photo of the Packed To The Rafters cast and crew, she urged all professionals in the film, television, entertainment and arts world, to join the challenge and post a photo of themselves and their job “to flood social media with our profession”.
“I am not intending to make any claim for myself – I am simply supporting the thousands of freelance artists and technicians I have worked with over the years who have lost their jobs and their income.
