Pregnant actress Michelle Keegan has been dealt a huge blow. The actress who is currently pregnant with her first child with husband Mark Wright won over a new legion of fans after taking on a lead role in the Sky drama, Brassic. But after six years, the show is being decomissioned by TV bosses – who state that it's not a bad thing to take it off screens, despite it's recent success.
Michelle, who found fame on Coronation Street has fronted the show alongside Joe Gilgun since it landed on the network in 2019. But the seventh series, which is currently being filmed and will air later this year will see the characters bow out. Show bosses have said that the programme has gone further than they could have ever imagined. Just last week, Michelle revealed she was on set filming but gave no indication to her followers that her character, Erin, would be permanently off screens in the near future. In a statement, Danny Brocklehurst, co-creator and writer said: "When Joe Gilgun and I sat down to create Brassic, we couldn't have imagined, in our wildest dreams, that we would do seven series and gather such a loyal and loving fan base.
"It's been a complete joy to create this eccentric world, but all good things must come to an end, and we want to stop while we are still riding high. Maybe they can finally give us that BAFTA." But despite the show being axed, Sky recently revealed that Brassic has been their most successful comedy across the network to date.
"Fans very quickly became attached to this dynamic group of friends, as they found unconventional ways to win at life in northern suburbia," a spokesperson for the network said. They went on to add: "We would like to thank Joe Gilgun, Danny Brocklehurst and the whole cast and crew – past and present – for bringing us all a truly iconic series, which we’ve loved for its special mix of hilarity and heart.".
