Michelle Keegan is looking forward to not being on screen for a while ahead of giving birth to her first child. The Coronation Street star, 37, and The Only Way Is Essex personality, 37, announced the joyous news with a pregnancy photoshoot with the caption: ‘2025 is going to be a special one for us… 👶🏻.’. Michelle, who is currently filming the seventh season of Sky comedy’s Brassic, says she’s excited to take a step back this summer.

‘I’m going to take a good chunk of time off to enjoy being a mum,’ she told Mail Online. ‘I’m never normally at home in the summer, I’ve always been away working, so I can’t wait.’. The comedy series follows the lives of Vinnie O’Neill (Joe Gilgun) and his friends as they commit various petty crimes to survive in the fictional northern English town of Hawley. Michelle plays Erin Croft, who is dating Vinnie’s best friend Dylan Golding (Damien Molony).

Although Michelle says she’s counting down the days until summer, rumours recently swirled over her and Mark being eyed for their own fly-on-the-wall TV series. A source said: ‘Michelle and Mark are such a TV power couple, and becoming parents is huge for them. ‘A couple of production companies are writing up propositions to see if they’d let in cameras to follow them becoming parents.’. The source added to The Sun: ‘These fly-on-the-wall shows are huge on ITV, as well as streamers like Prime, and there is a huge audience that would love an insight into Michelle and Mark’s world.’.
While a potential reality show has reached ‘planning stages’, no formal approaches have been made. However, ‘offers are close to being finalised.’. Neither Michelle nor Mark is a stranger to a crowd, as Mark rose to fame on the hit reality show The Only Way is Essex in 2010. Mark appeared in the first three series as one of the iconic original cast members, alongside ex-girlfriend Lauren Goodger.
While Michelle bowed out from Corrie in 2014 when her character, Tina McIntyre, was brutally killed in a whodunnit storyline after six years. She’s since focused on serious drama roles in projects like Our Girl, and the Netflix hit Fool Me Once, the latter of which became one of the streamer’s most-watched shows ever.
