Michelle 'torn' over moving to LA

She’s in an enviable position right now, with her Netflix show Fool Me Once propelling her to a whole new level of fame.

But it seems that Michelle Keegan, who has called the huge success of her most recent show “surreal”, is feeling deeply divided over the choice that lies ahead.

On the one hand, it’s the perfect time for her to go to America and pursue a career there. On the other, she is extremely close to her family in the UK – and doesn’t think she could bear to leave them to pursue her acting dreams.

A source has told new that the Stockport-born actress, 36, is “torn” between taking the next step in her career by going to America or staying in the Uwith her husband Mark Wright, 37, and family.

“She’s worked so hard to get to this point and Hollywood is all she has ever dreamed of, but now the possibility is in front of her, she has a real dilemma,” they said.

It’s the opportunity of a lifetime for any British actor but, as our source tells us, this choice has come at the most difficult time for Michelle.

“She’s got her amazing new home in Essex with Mark that they worked on for years and she wants to concentrate on her marriage as well as her career,” said the source. “Heading to America would mean they’d be apart and they’ve already spent a lot of their marriage across the pond when Mark moved over for his job [on entertainment show Extra]. This would mean another parting for them and it would be tough, no matter how supportive Mark is of her.”
