Michelle Keegan gives glimpse of baby bump after announcement as she films series ahead of birth

Michelle Keegan is trying to conceal her blossoming baby bump as she films the next series of Brassic before welcoming her first child into the world.

The actress announced just after Christmas that she and her husband Mark Wright are expecting their first child together, with the baby set to arrive in a matter of weeks, just before the pair celebrate their 10th wedding anniversary in May.

Michelle shared the news with her millions of followers by posting a gorgeous picture showcasing her blossoming baby bump alongside Mark, as the former Coronation Street favourite and TOWIE star told fans: "2025 is going to be a special one for us…"

But before she can prepare for her little one's arrival, the 37-year-old is busy working in 'minus' temperatures, with the help of portable heaters and '100 hot drinks' on hand for the next series of Sky Comedy, Brassic.

Taking to Instagram, Michelle shared a string of snaps she'd captured during filming so far that gave a glimpse at the behind-the-scene conditions as she made the most of the snowy and cold weather with her co-stars.

In one photo, Michelle concealed her bump underneath a green crew coat and an oversized knit paired with baggy cargo trousers. She wore her brunette locks in her character Erin's signature half-up, half-down curled style as she read through her lines.

Another snap saw the actress wrap up warm in a colourful padded jacket as the cast posed for a group photo in a snowy field before she appeared glammed in a group selfie as they filmed what looks like a party scene.

Captioning the post to her 7.4 million followers, Michelle said: "1st week back filming last week the weather was in the minuses but in true Brassic fashion we layered up, stood next to portable heaters and drank a 100 hot drinks & got on with it! It’s good to be back!"

And fans were excited by the update. @elena.sorano1 said: "Brilliant. Can’t wait!! Enjoy filming, can’t wait for the laughs." @marianneper33 commented: " Omg just love this programme and you lot - so funny. One minute I’m laughing and the next.
