January Jones appears to have some spare time on her hands since Mad Men wrapped its final season.

The quirky actress posted a series of silly bathtime selfies on Tuesday in the style of The Office comedian Ricky Gervais.

She captured her first snap: 'This one is called 'fake sleeping in a tub without a cat'' before adding the hashtag '#gotoffworktooearlytoday'

The 37-year-old TV star explained: 'I was inspired by @rickygervais to do a bathtub series, I'm calling it "a bathtub series not by Ricky Gervais but by me".

Fans and followers of Gervais' social media accounts will be familiar with the 54-year-old's fondness of bathtime selfies where he pulls a variety of crazy faces while half submerged in the tub.

The actor also shared copious pictures of his Siamese cat Ollie.
