Michelle Keegan left fans guessing last week when she informed her millions of online followers that she was jetting off on a new adventure. The former Coronation Street star was all smiles as she was photographed pushing several suitcases at the airport.
The actress, who played Tina McIntyre in Corrie between 2008 and 2014, was snapped donning a casual green tracksuit, paired with white chunky trainers and a black bag in the photo which she shared with her 5.7 million followers. "Annnnnd she’s off" Michelle captioned the post with the yellow heart and airplane emoji.
She also shared a quote that read: "The greatest danger in life is not taking the adventure." And while she did not specify where she was heading off to, fans were quick to speculate after her family and friends jumped in to leave their comments full of hope it had something to do with Our Girl.

Michelle played Lance Corporal Georgie Lane in the BBC One drama for four series from 2016 to 2020, taking over the lead role from EastEnders actress Lacy Turner. Fans were gutted when the series came to an end before the country was plunged into its first lockdown.
However, it has since been reported that the 34-year-old is actually filming a period drama in Australia which is said to be from the team behind Netflix’s Sex Education. In her first social media post since paying a gushing anniversary tribute to her husband Mark Wright, Michelle has update her followers on her time away from the UK so far.
"My 1st week down unda," she wrote alongside the string of images that started with a selfie. It showed Michelle keeping cosy indoors in a grey high-neck jumper with glitter detail as the rain could be seen falling in the window in the background. She posed with a slight smile for the camera as her freshly glossed lips shined and a Prada bag could be seen hanging around her body.
In the pictures that followed, Michelle appeared to get luckier with the weather as she took herself off to the beach to learn her lines. A coffee cup, beach bag and towel could be seen in the image while her piles of scripts had been blurred with only her name legible and bright orange highlighter which accentuated the pages.
But it wasn't all work as it appears the Brassic actress headed to a beautiful flower market while also catching a firey Aussie sunset as she was driven through the streets. There was also a sneak peek at the TV studio, with the outside of a yellow building simply indicating it was 'Stage 5' while another inside showed cameras getting ready to roll.
And fans were quick to comment to compliment Michelle on her selfie, welcome her to the other side of the world and even call her out for her sneaky picture taking. @yellowheartgifts23 said: "Stunning as always.." @sedoredanielle wrote: "Beautiful pics!"
@yanvey67 commented: "Tease by blurring the script out!" Fan page @mich_keegs replied: "So proud of you, go and smash it." @chellebows1 suggested: "Deffo not Our Girl, something bigger & better I suspect."
When Michelle first revealed her trip online, fans quickly gathered it was something big thanks to her friends and family's response. Mother-in-law Carol Wright, the mum of Michelle's husband Mark Wright, said: "Go and smash it my darling," while Mark's younger sister Natalya wrote: "Proud of you."
James 'Arg' Argent, who is best friends with Mark, commented: "Good luck Michelle, Can’t wait to see your work. So excited for you," and Hollyoaks star Lucy-Jo Hudson, who also previously starred in Corrie, added: "Excited to hear all about it! Good luck beautiful."
