Michelle Keegan had to laugh as she says she was 'humbled' by one of her family members after they sent her a picture of herself looking completely different during her days on Coronation Street. The Stockport-born actress shot to fame after landing a role on the Salford-based soap back in 2008.
She bagged the role of Tina McIntyre in the long-running soap aged 20, beating hundreds of others to the role. Michelle arrived on the cobbles when Tina had a chance encounter with David Platt while visiting the Rosamund Street Medical Centre. The pair soon started dating and within a week of the relationship, she had sex with David and fell pregnant before seeking Gail Platt's advice and having a private abortion.
David found out but their relationship survived when Tina aborted David's child, but when he pressured her to commit perjury to put away his rival Gary Windass, Tina chose to exonerate Gary and finish her relationship with David instead. But Tina's involvement with the Platts didn't end due to her dad, Joe, being married to Gail.
