She's devoted to keeping up appearances, and has to look her best for her job.

So it was just another normal day in the life of Michelle Keegan as she stepped out for a session at her local gym near her home in Essex recently.

And, as ever, the former Coronation Street beauty looked gorgeous as she prepared to get a sweat on, showing off her enviably lean, petite figure in her stylish gym gear.

Just another day! Michelle Keegan looked gorgeous in her flattering workout gear as she stepped out for a gym session near her home in Essex last week

The stunning 28-year-old made the most of her slim legs, encasing her perfect pins in a pair of skintight black and white printed leggings.

She covered her trim and toned top half in a high-necked black sweat-wicking top with long sleeves in a funky graphic design.

And she added a pop of colour to her workout look with a pair of bright turquoise trainers.

For her day off work, Michelle - best known for her role as Tina McIntyre on Corrie - showed off her naturally pretty face as she appeared to be wearing the bare minimum of make-up, although her skin glowed with her year-round deep tan.

Making the most of what she's got: The 28-year-old showed off her incredibly lean, toned legs in a pair of skintight black and white leggings, teamed with bright trainers and a snug gym top

Casual: She piled her brunette locks high up into a messy style, while going almost make-up free

She finished it all off with her hair casually piled up high atop her head, her flowing brunette locks tamed into a messy but suitable top knot.

Michelle grinned as she headed to her car to make her onward journey to the gym, something she was no doubt keen to get back into after enjoying yet another holiday with husband Mark Wright in Dubai the previous week.

The couple, who tied the knot in a lavish ceremony in May this year, visited their favourite holiday destination once again, although they laid low while out there.

Although they managed to go under the radar while in Dubai, Michelle shared a picture on her Instagram page of the two of them enjoying their time away.

The sweet snap showed the pair - both of them with matching dark brown skin, no doubt earned from days on the beach - loved-up while at a restaurant.

Posted as a throwback snap, Michelle added: 'Only a few nights ago!! @mahikidubai.'

Meanwhile, she also recently stepped out for a night in her home town of Manchester, rocking a blunt, choppy fringe, giving her a completely new look.

But, writing in her recent HELLO! magazine blog, she revealed she's not actually gone for the chop and has just been experimenting with a clip-in fringe from Selfridges.

The Ordinary Lies actress wrote: 'I was really impressed with it, [it] looked very real and stayed in place all evening.

'Clip in’s are a great way of trying out new styles to see if you like them, before you go for the chop – or add expensive extensions to your hair.'
