It's fair to say that Michelle Keegan's rise to fame has been brilliant to watch. The Stockport-born star can currently be seen in Sky Comedy's Brassic and on BBC One in the broadcaster's new drama, Ten Pound Poms. And while all that is going out on air, she is busy filming her next big job, her first-ever role in a Netflix thriller.
Michelle grew up in Greater Manchester with her parents Michael Keegan and Jackie Turner and her younger brother Andrew. She attended St Patrick's RC High School in Eccles and later the Manchester School of Acting, where fellow Coronation Street alumni Suranne Jones also studied.
But, before getting her first role, Michelle's first jobs included working at Selfridges in the Trafford Centre on a make-up counter, having worked at various stores from the age of 15 to 20, and at Manchester Airport as a check-in agent.
