And, while Michelle insists the pair are still happy in their relationship, she will not be heading out to the US to live there with Mark.

During an appearance on The One Show this evening she was quizzed on whether she’d like to further her acting career in Hollywood.

She said: “I’d love to work in America but I couldn’t see myself living out there full-time.

“I’m a home bird.”

She added that she might struggle to make herself heard to American audiences as they do not understand her northern accent when she visits.

The actress said: “When I’ve been out in LA, even if I’m ordering a coffee or something, they think I’m Australian.
