TAN-talising: Michelle Keegan looks VERY tanned as she returns to Coronation Street following Dubai holiday with Mark Wright
|
Coronation Street actress Michelle Keegan may have just swapped the coastline for the cobbles, but her Dubai tan is clearly going nowhere.
The TV star, who has just returned from a romantic holiday with Mark Wright, looked borderline orange as she filmed scenes in Manchester on Monday morning.
In fact, the 26 year-old's complexion looked even brighter against they grey backdrop of the fictional district of Weatherfield.

Adding insult to injury, Michelle was asked to wear an orange detailed coat to keep her warm between takes.
Fortunately, it all seemed to work for her character, Tina McIntyre, who has a penchant for excessive fake tan, huge hoop earrings and a 'scouse brow'.
But, according to an insider, make-up artists on the ITV series deliberately had to try and tone down her sun-kissed glow to make the scenes believable.

And although she enjoyed a restful break with her husband-to-be, she was forced to hit the cobbles running with some gritty storylines.
Ahead of her forthcoming exit from the long-running drama, Michelle could be seen filming scenes with actor Chris Gascoyne (Peter Barlow) with whom her character has been having an affair.

Fortunately, art is not imitating life for Michelle who is blissfully happy with her TOWIE fiance. When he was spotted in London after the trip he was also super-tanned - especially against his white top.
They met on a new year's break in Dubai back in December 2011, before getting engaged in the Middle Eastern holiday hotspot in September 2012. So it was only right that they returned to the United Arab Emirates once again, last week.
Enjoying a stroll down the pristine white sands at Grosvenor House Hotel, the 26-year-old actress displayed her toned and tanned pins in a multi-coloured, tribal print bandeau playsuit.

The couple looked the picture of happiness as they enjoyed their time together, with the former TOWIE star planting a huge kiss on his stunning wife-to-be's head as they made their way inside the hotel.
And as well as enjoying a well-earned break from their busy schedules, Mark and Michelle spent some time sampling the vibrant nightlife of Dubai.
Posting a shot on his Twitter page of the couple sipping on cocktails while sat on a beach bed at Blue Marlin, Mark wrote: 'Partying at blue marlin dubai !! A Couple that raves together stays together !! (sic).'

A well-earned break: Opting for a low-key look, Mark, 27, covered up his muscular physique in a simple black T-shirt, which he teamed with shorts and flip-flops
Although Michelle's long, lean figure is positively envy-inducing, the talented actress proved she wasn't watching what she was eating too much while on holiday.
Uploading a shot of a huge, cheesy burger and a plate of greasy fries, she tweeted: 'Dubai airport have THE best burgers I've ever had!!!'
Mark and Michelle met on a new year's holiday to Dubai back in December 2011, before getting engaged in the Middle Eastern holiday hotspot in September 2012.

And the reality star turned TV presenter recently admitted spending three months apart from his stunning girlfriend due to work commitments was the catalyst for him popping the question.
Speaking to the Daily Mirror, he said: 'I was desperate to see her, I missed her so much and that’s when I realised, ‘f*****g hell, this is intense’.
'I couldn’t be away from her for that long, so I thought I’m going to get on this flight and propose.
