Michelle Keegan is instantly recognisable as one of TV's most glamourous stars and it seems a lifetime ago she starred as Tina McIntyre in Fair City.
The fiesty Corrie barmaid even made an appearance on the Jeremy Kyle Show as her character as part of a love triangle with David Platt and his handsome brother.
The 34-year-old actress played Tina on the cobbles from 2008 until she was killed off in a grisly storyline in 2014.

And in March 2010, soap fans got to see their favourite characters outside of their usual tea time slot when Coronation Street on The Jeremy Kyle Show aired to commemorate the 1000th episode of the since axed chat show.
Tina was dragged on to the famous stage by her livid ex-boyfriend David Platt who accused her of sleeping with his good looking brother Nick.
It all tied in to to some of the show’s biggest storylines of the time - and elements of those were mentioned by problem solver Jezza, who he claimed he had also seeked a second opinion on from show shrink Graham, too.
Michelle - at the time aged 22 - looked pale and drawn in the special Kyle episode, wearing Tina’s uniform of a pair of huge hooped earrings, a tracksuit top and jeans and fake Ugg boots.
After branding David “a freak”, she crows that the reason he went to prison was because she dumped him.
She sneers: “He couldn't handle it so he smashed the whole street up.”
She then implies that David’s mum Gail had had something to do with the death of her dad, Joe, who she had been in a secret sexual relationship with.
In reality Joe was killed by Gary Windrush who would go on to date Gail’s daughter Sarah-Lou.
After the all-important lie detector test, it was found that Tina hadn’t had sex with Nick, and the trio were free to return to Weatherfield.
Fast forward to 2022 and Michelle has a huge array of brand endorsements to her name from huge names in fashion and beauty.
She is married to Heart presenter Mark Wright, and the couple moved into their dream mansion in Essex this year after years of building work.
