And he admitted he’d like to ban the programme — in which Michelle, 30, plays Lance Corporal Georgie Lane — altogether.
Former My Family actor Robert said: “I find it over- sexualised. I used to know a lot of people who served in the military and they weren’t glamour models.
"There’s something distasteful about it.

“She (Keegan) is stunning. But when they’re all snogging and it’s about sex, you’re like, ‘No, hang on a minute’.
"It is not doing girls in the military any favours.”
But My Girl was not the only show to anger veteran actor Robert.

The former Citizen Smith star — who plays a crooked property developer in ITV2 comedy Plebs — also laid into Strictly Come Dancing and revealed he had turned it down four times.
He said: “It’s so fake. You get some 60-year-old ex-golfer with a beer belly and then some 18-year-old stunning girl from Hollyoaks who’s ballet-trained. I just do not get it.”
The fourth series of Plebs starts tomorrow at 10pm on ITV2.
