Michelle Keegan was delighted when a dog who had been stolen 18 months ago was reunited with her family.
The pet pooch called Brandy was taken from a garden in Essex 'in broad day light'.
Animal lover Michelle, 35, asked fans to keep an eye out for the cocker spaniel last year, re-sharing Brandy's owners desperate plea for help.
Thankfully, the pooch has now been found as the Brassic actress took to Twitter to share the good news.
"Amazing news! She's now home and safe where she should be," Michelle said before adding: "Sending love to Brandy and your family... Merry Christmas."
Missing Pets GB thanked Michelle for her help in raising awareness of Brandy's plight.
They tweeted: "THANK YOU for you help!!! As of 2am this morning Brandy was retrieved by her family. 18 months ago she was stolen from her garden, today she is home safe."
In April last year, Michelle re-shared Brandy's missing post on Instagram as the dog's owner revealed the cocker spaniel had been snatched from her garden.
The former Corrie star asked anyone with information to come forward, slamming the "disgusting" thieves who stole the poor pooch.
"This gorgeous dog was stolen in broad daylight from her owners garden... it's just DISGUSTING," Michelle said at the time.
The thieves' car details were shared, and Brandy's owner explained that police were helping with the case.
They also thanked everyone who had helped so far, writing: "I would just like to say a massive thank you to everyone who has commented, liked and shared my story."
Michelle and her husband Mark Wright have two dogs, a chihuahua and a dachshund.
The couple posed with their pooches for a Christmas selfie at their mega mansion in Essex on the weekend.
They grinned with their family in front of a huge glittering Christmas tree in the hallway of their £3.5m home as they cradled their dogs Pip and Phoebe.
Michelle sported a blue and white striped knee-length dress and white boots, while Mark looked dapper in black slacks and a jumper.
The pair were joined by Mark's youngest sister Natalya, his mum and dad Mark and Carol, his sister Jess and brother Joshua, and their spouses, William and Hollie.
Natalya, 22, shared the photo on her Instagram account, posting: "An evening all together for once... the best time of the year."
Mark and Michelle, who got married in 2015, have been working on their house for more than two years, after buying the property for a cool £1.3million.
