Just one month after marrying Mark Wright, it’s back to work for former Corrie star for Michelle Keegan.

The 28-year-old, who now goes by Michelle Wright, has revealed that she is to star in BBC1 series Our Girl.

FHM’s sexiest woman will play an army medic working in East Africa.

Writing in her blog for Hello! magazine, Michelle said: “”The news is finally out about my new role. I am over the moon about this. I loved the first series with Lacey Turner in it, and can’t wait for my next big challenge and where it will take me.

"I can’t really tell you much about the character I am playing, as its all still pretty hush hush, but when I can I will let you know."

Michelle and her new husband Mark, also 28, celebrated their one month anniversary with a romantic day trip to Cambridge,

Proving that her pre-wedding health kick was well and truly forgotten, Michelle wrote: "I have enjoyed some yummy treats including home made ice-cream on a day out with Mark in Cambridge, and a huge portion of Mancunian fish and chips when I nipped home last week.

"My god they were good! Like I have always said – everything in moderation!"
