Polls have opened across the UK in today's general election and the celebrities have been making sure everyone knows they have cast their votes.
From 7am until 10pm, millions of Britons will head to polling stations to cast their vote in the first Westminster contest since 2019.
And the stars are among them as the likes of Lizzie Cundy, Myleene Klass, Ashley James, Piers Morgan, Tony Robinson and Charles Dance took part in the voting.
Socialite Lizzie, 56, appeared to turn her local polling station into her catwalk as she wowed in a tight blue dress and shades outside the station.
She penned in the caption: 'First at the poll station!! I charged in like a thunder bolt into my village hall, I cast my vote and then I bought everyone a cup of tea and a custard cream.

A series of opinion polls in the run-up to today have shown Labour on course for a huge landslide win.
But the Prime Minister, who called the general election six weeks ago, has warned voters against handing Sir Keir Starmer unchecked power.
The Tory leader continued his campaigning against a Labour 'socialist supermajority' with a series of overnight social media posts right up until polls opening.
He has repeatedly warned about Sir Keir hiking taxes should he enter power and claimed Labour will raid workers, savers, homeowners, pensioners and drivers.
In his final campaign rally last night, the PM admitted he was the 'underdog' but vowed: 'This underdog will fight to the final whistle.'
Mr Sunak and his wife Akshata Murty were spotted voting early this morning at Kirby Sigston Village Hall in his Richmond and Northallerton constituency in Yorkshire.
Like all other voters, they will have had to ensure they had correct photo identification - such as a passport or driving licence - with them in order to vote.
This year is the first time in the UK that everybody wanting to vote in person at a general election will have to show ID before receiving a ballot paper.
Sir Keir voted later this morning as he attended a polling station together with his wife Victoria in their Holborn and St Pancras constituency in north London.
They arrived hand-in-hand at Willingham Close TRA Hall in Kentish Town.
A final poll by Ipsos, published today, showed Labour down five points from last week to a 37 per cent vote share.
But Sir Keir's party still maintained a strong lead of 18 points over the Tories, who were unchanged on 19 per cent.
The survey of more than 2,000 adults, carried out between Monday to yesterday evening, also had Nigel Farage's Reform UK party unchanged on 15 per cent, with the Liberal Democrats on 11 per cent and Greens on 9 per cent.
The poll found the Conservatives remaining on their lowest vote share in Ipsos records since the late 1970s, but also put Labour on their lowest vote share since 2021.
