Here comes trouble! Bride-to-be Michelle Keegan dons a veil as she jets off to Dubai for raucous hen trip
Her fiance Mark Wright spent last weekend boozing with 30 male pals on his 'pre-stag' do.
So it was finally Michelle Keegan's time to get a slice of the pre-wedding madness as she jetted off to Dubai with a group of friends for her hen party trip.
The actress fully embraced the hen theme with a customised T-shirt, glasses and novelty veil as she arrived for her flight at Manchester airport with her friends and family.

While Michelle was wearing a white 'bride to be' T-shirt, with her nickname 'Keegs' on the back, her pals were all in fuchsia tees emblazoned with the words 'Shell's Girls' across their chest.
Meanwhile, Michelle's mother Jackie wore a pink top reading 'I can't keep calm, I'm the mother of the bride!'
It appeared there were even more friends waiting for her in the departures lounge after Michelle tweeted a photo of herself with 26 friends, captioned: 'Essex and Manchester... join forces! #crew.'
The trip to the Middle East is just one of several hen celebrations Michelle is having in the run-up to her nuptials next month.

She admitted she was nervous about what her friends had in store for her.

Of course, Dubai has fond memories for Michelle - the couple got engaged in the UAE in September 2013.
Mark and Michelle started dating in December 2012 after meeting on a New Year's holiday and are due to wed in Norfolk next month.
Both have been in high-profile engagements before - Mark had a five month engagement to long-term love and TOWIE co-star Lauren Goodger before splitting in August 2011.

The former soap star, who is currently filming a new movie Strangeways Here We Go in her native Manchester, admitted Mark had been very involved in planning the wedding.
She said: 'He's really hands on… yeah!... It's annoying! I didn't want him to have opinions!
'No, you know what, he's been really hands-on and he's really helped. It's been good, we've been a team.'
Whoop whoop! The women certainly looked ready to cause chaos in Dubai
