Former Coronation Street star Michelle Keegan wowed fans as she shared a new snap of herself Down Under. The Brassic beauty posed for a stunning photo while filming a new drama in Australia.
Fans were left guessing back in May when Michelle shared a cryptic message as she jetted off to film her latest project, sharing a photo of herself smiling at the airport while pushing several suitcases saying "Annnnnd she’s off." The 35-year-old actress, from Stockport, will star in new BBC drama Ten Pound Poms, created by Bafta-award winner Danny Brocklehurst who she has previously worked with on the Sky comedy drama Brassic and BBC drama series Ordinary Lies.
Michelle will lead the six-part series alongside Games Of Thrones star Faye Marsay and Luther actor Warren Brown. The drama will follow a group who have been promised a better quality of life in Australia for only £10, leaving behind post-war Britain.

Michelle will play a young nurse called Kate, who arrives in Australia without her fiance and will do whatever it takes to “rewrite her devastating past”, the BBC said. And as her Oz adventure continues Michelle Instagrammed a photo of herself looking smiley and bronzed as she relaxed with an espresso martini.
She drew compliments for her summery look - a pretty floral print outfit with her honeyed tresses worn down around her shoulders. Michelle, who kept her makeup to a natural palette with a nude lip and bronzed cheeks, added a pop of colour with a pink manicure.
"Like butter wouldn't melt then along come the espresso martinis," she captioned the picture. mukeshrahulsonik commented: "Stunning." madeleine_baron3 said: "Perfection." And louisedenby1989 wrote: "So so beautiful."
Other fans did a double take as she reminded them of two Hollywood superstars. alexmackenzie78 told her: "You're starting to look a bit like Julia Roberts in her prime." And natalie.j.jones said: "For a split second I thought you were JLO."
Last week Michelle, who shot to fame as feisty barmaid Tina McIntyre in Corrie, wrote about her trip: "Last weekend I had some time off work so decided to explore more of Australia and took myself on a little solo trip north to Cairns! Where I ate, drank, met koalas (yes I bought the photo took a train journey through the rainforest, wandered through the heritage markets and asked a stranger to take a picture of me."
She added: "I had the most amazing time. Yes travelling alone can be scary but life’s too short to let that fear get in your way! Take the trip, make the memories & capture them to remember forever."
Creator Danny, from Hyde, said: "Ten Pounds Poms demands an ensemble cast that we are always rooting for – actors we love and want to succeed. I am thrilled to have found those actors. It is a delight to welcome so much exciting Australian talent as well as working with the brilliant Faye and Warren for the first time."
He added: "This is my third outing with the wonderful Michelle Keegan and I’m positive we will make another winner together." Michelle's mother-in-law Carol Wright told her: "Missin you @michkeegan." Her sister-in-law Jess Wright commented on her latest photo "Beautiful" and younger sibling Natalya said "Beauty."
