Lindsay Lohan faces community service!

Lindsay Lohan was ordered to complete 125 hours of community service over a 2012 reckless driving charge and has since only completed nine.

Last week a Judge told LiLo that she’ll need to complete those remaining hours by May 28 or face jail time.

Since last year, the Mean Girls star has lived in London where she starred in the West End play Speed the Plow, but her lawyer argued in court that she was unable to complete the hours there, due to travel limitations.

The judge agreed to let the troubled star complete her remaining community service at a pre-school in Brooklyn, a place she visited once before during her doco-series produced by Oprah Winfrey.

Despite the Judge making special arrangements, Lindsay was nowhere to be seen on what should have been her first day.

Thankfully the 28-year-old took to Twitter to let us know that she did turn up for her second day, and posted a picture on Instagram with one of the very cute recipients of her community service.

“So happy to be finally helping out all the kids at @WeAreBCS – I just hope that I can make a difference to their lives,” wrote the Freaky Friday star.

As she emerged from her first day of community service, reportedly arriving two hours late, the actress was spotted holding a copy of the Quran – which is the book of Islam.

Lindsay will be finishing her 125 hours of community service at the Duffield Children’s Centre in Brooklyn.

The Muslim holy book, teaches its readers to live a life free of alcohol, something which Lindsay has struggled with in the past.

This wouldn’t be the first time the former child-star has tried her hand at other religions, despite being brought up Catholic, she has also been known to dabble in Kabbalah and Buddhism.

During her reality series on Oprah Winfrey’s television network, Lindsay told the talk show host, “I’m a very spiritual person and I’ve become more spiritual as time has gone on.”

She added: “I’m really in touch, whether it’s prayer or meditation… there are so many powers greater than me in the world. I’ve been blessed and lucky enough to have been given a gift to share with other people.”

Let’s hope that Lindsay is finally winning the battle against her demons – we’re rooting for you Lilo!
