Michelle Keegan looks incredible as she reveals glamorous new character – and fans are going to love her
MICHELLE Keegan has teased fans with her latest TV project, introducing her new glamorous character.
The actress transformed into a 1950s nurse for the new BBC drama Ten Pound Poms, which starts this month.
Embracing vintage chic, Michelle looked incredible in a purple pleated dress that nipped her in at the waist.
She wore a pair of red-wine coloured heels and her long raven locks were pulled back in old Hollywood-style curls.
Michelle, 35, spent weeks in Australia last year filming the show which is due to be released on May 14.
Ten Pound Poms follows the lives of a group of people in post-war Britain who leave their home to start a new life down under.
The show is based on the Ten Pound Poms Scheme which allowed Brits to migrate to Australia in 1945 for just £10.
The scheme was introduced to boost the economy after the Second World War.
“1 week to go before Ten Pound Poms takes you back to 1956,” Michelle wrote in the caption.
Struggling to contain their excitement, fans flocked to the comment section.
“Can’t wait to watch this, my parents were £10 poms,” one wrote.
“My Auntie & Uncle went to Oz on this scheme,” another added, while one replied: “I can’t wait!!”
The drama also stars Faye Marsay and Warren Brown, who are promised a better life in Australia.
The six-part series is created by Brassic screenwriter, Danny Brocklehurst.
Michelle played Erin in the Sky series that followed a group of petty criminals in Lancashire.
The former Coronation Street star posed beside her mum this weekend, joking that they were “Ibiza ready” as they wore funky sunglasses.
Michelle looked stylish in a grey coat, white hoodie and cross body bag.
She smiled for the camera as she rocked the black sunglasses that had a strip of diamonds hanging from each side.
The soap star’s mum Jacqueline rocked a flower design pair.
Michelle captioned the Instagram post: “Ibiza ready,” and tagged her mum in the post.
Jackie reguarly keeps out of the spotlight, but was seen posing for a snap with her daughter in March.
The mother-daughter duo, as well as some others, enjoyed an evening at Palace Theatre Manchester to watch The Lion King Musical.
Jackie shares Michelle and Andrew with Michael Keegan.
