She's getting married, her latest TV project has been a hit; things are looking good for Michelle Keegan.

The former Corrie star put on a leggy display as she appears on Alan Carr's Chatty Man, airing on Friday night on Channel 4, talking about the wedding, her hen and her new show, Ordinary Lies.

Michelle arrived on Alan's sofa showing off her enviable figure in an orange print mini-dress, as she sat down to chat.

Leggy beauty: Michelle Keegan showed off her tanned pins in an orange dress as she appeared on Alan Carr's Chatty Man

She wore a high-necked shift with a slightly fitted waist and a zip running down the front with cute pocket details.

The combination of the shape, the thigh skimming hemline and the bright print, gave a distinctly sixties vibe to the look.

Although she mixed up the decades when it came to her shoes which were a seventies-style pair of metallic blue sandals.

Michelle was looking bronzed as ever, with her recent role in Ordinary Lies, filmed in the Dominican Republic, no doubt helping her top up the tan.

Laid back bride: Michelle told Alan how much she's been enjoying planning her wedding

Speaking about the show, which has been a hit with the critics, she said, 'With the script when I got Ordinary Lies I knew this was the job I wanted.

'I knew there was a lot of pressure from people watching what I was going to do next after Corrie so I wanted to do like, the right job. I felt at the time that was the right thing to do.'

She went on to discuss her impending wedding to former TOWIE star Mark Wright which is finally taking shape after such a long engagement.

She said, 'I’m really chilled about everything to be fair, so I’ve been really relaxed. I knew I would be like that anyway but I’ve really enjoyed it.'

The right show: Michelle waited to find the exact right move for after Coronation Street and is thrilled with Ordinary Lies

Another thing that Michelle gets out of having such an extended period of engagement is two hen parties.

She's had a 'pre-hen' of dinner with friends but admitted that the big one could get out of hand.

Answering Alan's question, 'Are you going to have one of those raucous ones where you end up cling filmed to a lamppost naked?' She said, 'probably, with my mates that will probably happen as well!'

Joining Michelle on the sofa was US actor Elijah Wood and Harry Potter star Warwick Davis.

Lucy Mecklenburgh joins beau Louis Smith and some Weasleys for Harry Potter's Hogwarts Express launch

All aboard the love train! Scarlet beauty Lucy Mecklenburgh joins beau Louis Smith for Harry Potter's Hogwarts Express launch

By BECKY FREETH FOR MAILONLINE

They were mere preteens when the Harry Potter book franchise first gripped the nation.

But lovebirds Lucy Mecklenburgh, 23, and Louis Smith, 25, proved they were still big kids at heart when they became the first guests at the Harry Potter Studio Tour's brand new Hogwarts Express attraction on Tuesday.

The hot new couple look thrilled to be sharing a first glimpse on Platform 9 3/4 and superfan Louis even grabbed a striped scarf and wand to get into the spirit of things.

Love train: Lucy Mecklenburgh joins beau Louis Smith for the launch of the new Hogwarts Express attraction in London on Tuesday

Lucy was right on point with a scarlet dress that perfectly matched the new Harry Potter attraction as she posed up a storm on the platform.

Her sleeveless mini flattered her athletic shape and cinched in at the waist to reveal the results of her ongoing fitness programme.

The former TOWIE star, with her glossy tresses twisted into ringlets over one shoulder, looked glamorous in black sandals that matched her Chanel handbag.

Superfan: Lucy revealed her Harry Potter fan status when she posed for pictures in front of the train

Lucy's best accessory was new boyfriend Louis, nonetheless, who she's been dating since competing on Tumble, for which he was a gymnastics judge.

At the weekend, she watched her 'handsome' Olympic bronze medal winning boyfriend tumble his way to second place glory at the English Gymnastics Championships.

The couple were the picture of bliss on Tuesday and even perfectly matched each other in height as they posed with arms around each other.

Besotted: The fitness fanatic looked more taken with her man than with the attraction nonetheless

In the spirit: Louis waved his wand and dressed in a scarf when he got into character on Platform 9 3/4

Handsome couple: The duo started dating after she appeared on his show Tumble, where he was a judge

They forged a relationship not long after Lucy competed in the gymnastics reality show and called their first date - an Italian dinner cooked by the athlete at his home - 'the best first date' she'd ever had when they featured in HELLO! magazine last month.

The gymnast claimed he 'tried to sweep her off her feet', and couldn't fault their bond, three months on: 'We've only been seeing each other for three months but it feels so easy, as if we've known each other for ages.'

Lucy and Louis obviously had a mutual affection for the Harry Potter films but Lucy appeared more distracted by her beau when they giggled in the pictures.

Perfect match: Lucy appeared to match her man perfectly in height when they posed with arms around each other

The experience: Harry's owl Hedwig, a Snowy Owl, was even on hand to give the perfect experience

Making an appearance: Lucy and Louis weren't the only stars vying for a first glimpse as Emma Willis was also in attendance

Yummy mummy: The mum of two was without husband Matt Willis but indulged in being a big kid for the day

The attraction: The Hogwarts Express platform at the Warner Bros Studio Tour in Watford was expanded to a 20,000 square foot construction

Baby and me: Kimberly Wyatt gave a first glimpse at her tiny baby when she brought them along for the tour

The Hogwarts Express platform at the Warner Bros Studio Tour in Watford was expanded to a 20,000 square foot construction.

It includes the original Hogwarts Express steam engine and a recreation of the iconic platform to give fans a glimpse into how some of the film's most-loved scenes were created.

The attraction will open to the public on March 19, alongside the existing Dumbledore's office, Hogwarts' Great Hall and Diagon Alley favourites from the film.

Famous face: Breakfast presenter Ben was staying up late to get a first look at the new attraction

Complete: The train site will feature alongside the existing Dumbledore's office, Hogwarts' Great Hall and Diagon Alley favourites from the film

They weren't the only closet superfans stopping by that night and Emma Willis and Ben Shepherd were among the famous faces in attendance.

Emma kept her look simple and sophisticated as she layered a long blazer over a leopard print top, with her pixie crop styled to perfection.

The Voice presenter and mother of two wore jeans to reveal her slender frame and stopped for pictures at the front of the new Hogwarts Express train.

Yummy mummy proved that Harry Potter can be fit for any age when she brought along her new baby on Tuesday too.

Out of character: Warwick Davis was, sadly for big fans, out of character as Filius Flitwic on the night

Back in time: Identical twins James Phelps and Oliver Phelps who played Fred and George Weasley were there to see it unveiled

Stars of the franchise, which was made into eight films from seven books, James Phelps and Oliver Phelps were there to see the replica train in all its glory.

They did of course ride the real Hogwarts Express between 2001 and 2011 as identical twins Fred and George Weasley, the older siblings of Ron Weasley, Harry's best friend.

And their on screen father, Arthur Weasley, played by actor Mark Williams was also in attendance, still managing to give the pair a good giggle.

Warwick Davis was, sadly for big fans, out of character as Filius Flitwick on the night and instead dressed in a smart velvet suit.

Casting a spell: The Weasley brothers, joined by Arthur Weasley as played by actor Mark Williams, caught up with Warwick

Still got it: The twins wielded their wands as if going back to their time on set

Still making them laugh: Actor Mark gave the boys a giggle as he adjusted his suit for the cameras

Showing up: Arthur Weasley was played by actor Mark Williams for all eight films

Proud: Mark was one of the first famous faces to catch a glimpse of the attraction before Monday

Jourdan Dunn reveals that Justin Bieber flirted with her after she accidently flashed him

'You’ve got nice t*ts': Jourdan Dunn reveals that Justin Bieber flirted with her after she accidently flashed him

Model Jourdan Dunn has revealed that Justin Bieber ‘kind of flirted’ with her during rehearsals for a Victoria’s Secret show.

Speaking to Jonathan Ross on his Saturday night show, the 22-year-old has shared that the popstar approached her after she accidently flashed her chest at him during rehearsals.

According to Jourdan, Justin, who was 18 at the time, said to her: ‘You’ve got nice t*ts because you flashed to me and my dancers, made our day.’

Confession: Jourdan Dunn has revealed that Justin Bieber flirted with her during rehearsals for a Victoria's Secret fashion show

However while most girls would have jumped at the chance to exchange in some banter with Bieber, the mother-of-one admitted that she found the whole situation very awkward.

Opening up Ross on the show, she said: ‘During rehearsals my segment was the VS Pink with Justin Bieber. During rehearsals him and his dancers were actually there and for some reason, I don’t know why, I decided to wear a top that was low cut and no bra.

‘So I go down, do my thing, do my pose and then I come off and then everyone was like ‘oh my god Jourdan everyone saw your boob.’

Distracted: The singer who was 18 at the time tried it on with Jourdan after she accidently flashed at him

Stunning: Jourdan looked amazing on the show wearing a white dress which showed off her endless legs

‘So then after the show we was chilling with Justin and he was kind of flirting with me and I kind of felt a bit awkward because he’s this little boy. He was 18 but I’m old enough to be his older sister, it’s kind of a bit weird.

‘I laughed after it because he was 18 at the time and I was like ‘why not, flirt with the models, do your thing.’

Besides talking about Justin during the show, the British fashion star gives Jonathan a radical makeover.

On stage: Jourdan Dunn appeared on the runway with Bieber during the 2012 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show in November

Leggy: When she sat on the sofa talking to Jonathan Ross her long legs took centre stage

Awkward: The model admitted that she found the experience of Justin Bieber chatting her up a bit strange because of his age

Make-over: During the show Jourdan takes to Jonathan's suit with a pair of scissors to give him a make-over

After asking her how she would change his look if she had the chance, Jourdan seizes the opportunity and makes some drastic alterations, leaving Jonathan to spend the remainder of the show bare legged.

The straight talking star also took the opportunity to talk about the industry she works in and admitted that she found it hard to bond with some of the other models.

She said: ‘I’m a normal chick, I’m normal and then being put in an environment with not so normal people, like crazy personalities and egos, it was a bit much for me.’

Up for a laugh: The model shows her fun side as she messes around with the host during the show

Showing off her work: The mother-of-one seems pleased with her handiwork on Jonathan's trousers

Jourdan, who was the first black model to walk for Prada runway in over a decade, also revealed that she’s had a few issues being a black model.

Recounting one story, she shared: ‘The make up artist came along and she looked at me and she didn’t think I could hear, and she was like (whispers) ‘I don’t know want to do her make up’ and they were like ‘why’ and she (was like) (whispers) ‘yeah but she’s black and I’m white, I’m not comfortable, I just don’t want to do it.’’

However while she may have had some horrible encounters, she has one very powerful friend in the industry – Naomi Campbell.

Not so sure: The chat show host isn't so keen on his new look

‘She loves me and I love her. The first time I met her I was actually half naked for a Kate Moss show, I was backstage,’ she said.

And of course Jourdan has another very famous friend, in the shape of model of the moment Cara Delevigne.

Talking about her friendship, she shared: ‘Cara’s like my little sister, my crazy little sister, I love her.

Play that song: Depeche Mode provide the musical entertainment for the evening

Chat: English actor Warwick Davis stopped in for a chat with Jonathan

'She’s so much fun. She’s crazy. When we do get a chance, we just hang, do normal things.’

The model appeared on the show with James Nesbitt, Warwick Davis and music was provided by Depeche Mode.

The Jonathan Ross Show airs 9.20pm, Saturday 30th March on ITV
