Michelle Keegan insists husband Mark Wright doesn’t care about her steamy on-screen sex scenes
The actress got raunchy in ITV comedy Plebs earlier this year
MICHELLE Keegan insists ever-supportive husband Mark Wright simply isn't "bothered" by her steamy on-screen sex scenes.
The former Corrie star filmed her first saucy sexual intercourse clips for ITV comedy Plebs last year.
Yet getting raunchy as Vestal Virgin Ursula, and then again in gritty BBC war drama Our Girl, doesn't seem to bother her ex Towie star other-half despite the fact their marriage has been plagued with rumours of a rift.
Michelle confessed: "No, he’s not really bothered.
"We talk about roles I get offered, but he’s more interested in the stories as a whole."
"Talk about being thrown in the deep end! I was really anxious about it, but once it was over, I was like, “Is that it?”
"It was no big deal in the end. We just had a laugh."
Meanwhile it seems the pair had a lively festive season and brought both their families together for Christmas Day at an Essex pub.
On Boxing Day, they headed out for a "messy" evening with Mark's sister, Jessica.
Michelle was sandwiched between the siblings in the cute shot, with her eyes scrunched up in delight and a huge smile on her face.
She cheekily stuck her tongue out for the shot and turned her body to the side so she could get a little closer to her hubby.
Mark, who posted the party image on his Instagram page, looked like he was having a wild night.
He nuzzled his head close to Michelle's as his former Towie co-star Jessica flashed a flirty grin on Michelle's other side.
Mark captioned the lively shot: "Boxing Day banta!!," and added the hashtags #messy #allnight #iayear #makethemostofit.
In an exclusive chat with The Sun's Fabulous magazine this month, she shunned any suggestion of marital strife.
She said: "All the marriage reports are ridiculous.
“Our marriage is going really well. We’re happy. I don’t want to constantly say: ‘We’re happy, we’re fine,’ because why validate it? If we’re happy, we’re happy. But the press don’t see that, and that’s the sad thing.”
Referring to a post she then put on Twitter, responding to the rumours, she added to us: “‘No wedding ring, no wedding ring’ blah blah blah sooooo boring!!! Not that I have to explain but I’m SO sick of these stories,” she wrote.
“I was like: ‘Right, that’s it,’” says Michelle, pursing her lips and typing furiously into an imaginary phone.
“Then an hour later I thought: ‘Why did I do that?’ I wish I hadn’t done it. It just fuels it.”
