Her pal, actress and comedy writer Emma Kennedy, 53, recently revealed: “Dawn is hooked, it’s weird! It is weirdly, weirdly super relaxing.”

A source added of Dawn, who plays Rev Geraldine Granger in the revived BBC sitcom: “She loves playing with bricks.

“She can spend hours making small buildings. It is a very calming activity and she likes using her hands.”

Ex-football star David Beckham, 45, was last year filmed by his wife Victoria making a Lego London bus with son Romeo, 18.

Over in the States, singer Britney Spears, 39, has called it her “pastime pleasure.”

Danish toy firm Lego reported a 21 per cent lift in sales during lockdown, with profits up 19 per cent to £1.5billion.

Next week’s Red Nose Day will see Dawn team up with real-life vicar Reverend Kate Bottley, 46, of Gogglebox fame.
