MICHELLE Keegan was treated to a beautifully arranged surprise baby shower as she prepares to welcome her first child into the world. Her friends gathered to celebrate the special occasion, with Michelle, 37, sharing a tiny glimpse of her day over on Instagram. One stunning photo from the event shows a sophisticated table setting, featuring a long wooden table adorned with delicate white candles and vintage napkins.

Her pals received small gift boxes wrapped with twine, and dainty floral arrangements of baby’s breath placed in clear glass vases. Champagne flutes were at the ready to toast Michelle, who had kept her pregnancy quiet until recently. The star soaked in the love and excitement from her closest friends, telling her fans: “Cutessst surprise brunch with my northern lot.”. The Manchester actress lives in Essex with husband Mark Wright.

She also gave fans a glimpse of her pre-baby prep last week. Michelle's snaps have been taken throughout January and give a sweet insight into how she is getting ready for the arrival of her baby. The actress's photo dump begins with a shot of her, all wrapped up in a cosy coat and woolly hat while sitting in the car. She has also shared a picture of her mum-to-be beauty products, including a 'bump mask', and one of a therapist's table ahead of a pregnancy massage.

Michelle posted a photo of herself enjoying a quiet night at home in front of the telly and a selfie taken while she was wearing a face mask. The Fool Me Once star finished her Instagram haul with a shot of the sunrise coming up over hers and Mark's £3.5million Essex mansion, along with a video of herself walking alongside her hubby. Michelle shared the post to her grid with the caption: "A self-care January…".

Michelle and Mark announced their happy baby news after nine years of marriage with a stunning photoshoot in Mallorca. In a snap showing off her baby bump for the very first time, she exposed her tummy as she donned an all-white outfit. Posing on a beach, she carefully placed her hand on the bump as she gazed lovingly at hubby Mark. A pal told The Sun: “Michelle and Mark went on a winter sun break in early November and chose to take the photograph there.

“It was taken on an empty beach by a friend when they knew no one would spot them. “Majorca is like a second home to them so it felt special for them to take that photograph there. “The lighting and the setting was just perfect, it was a beautiful moment.”. Friends also told The Sun how Fool You Once actress Michelle and Heart DJ Mark were “thrilled” about their baby news. One said: “Michelle and Mark kept their pregnancy quiet for a long time because they wanted to enjoy every second.

“Starting a family has been something they have wanted to do for a long time.". Since making the announcement, Michelle has been busy filming the final series of Sky's Brassic. The cast have been out in plunging temperatures and snow to shoot the last ever instalment of the hugely popular comedy show. The Sun revealed earlier this month that Brassic is coming to an end after six years. Michelle has played the part of Erin since the beginning and will no doubt be sad to say goodbye when they finally wrap.
