Michelle Keegan has been reflecting on her Coronation Street exit and musing how it was a risk to leave the ITV soap.
The actress, 35, played the role of Tina McIntyre from 2008 until 2014, before making the jump and walking away from the security of a regular salary on the ITV soap.
Thankfully for Michelle, the risk paid off and she went on to become one of the nation's favourite TV stars, but that doesn't mean the star didn't once fear she would never act again.
