Michelle Keegan Puts Those Rumours to Bed Once and for All.
Michelle Keegan is back on our TV screens in January, and this time she’s taken on the role of footballer Bobby Moore’s first wife, Tina. after kick starting her career as another Tina (McIntyre) in Corrie back in 2008, Michelle, 29, has gone from strength to strength, recently playing George Lane in Our Girl. i caught up with the gorgeous Mancunian, who married former TOWIE star mark Wright, 29, in 2015, to chat family plans, marriage rumours and her incredible career…

'THAT'S NOT MY BABY'
Lying in the hospital bed, my husband Michael had tears of happiness in his eyes as he showed me a photo on his phone. 'Here she is,' he said proudly. 'This is our beautiful baby girl.'I stared at the photo and shook my head. 'No, that's not my baby,' I said.
