The star has just returned from a romantic holiday in Dubai with fiancé Mark Wright and has gotten too tanned to film her death scenes.
Michelle said at a recent event: ‘I was only away for a week and wore the highest factor sunscreen to protect my skin, but I just tan so easily.’
Lucky for some!
‘The only problem now is I need my tan to fade - and fast!’ the actress added.
Michelle now has to prepare for her exit from the soap, which will involve her having to look much paler (and unhealthy) than she is now.
‘I’ve only got four more weeks left on Corrie and so it will soon be the death scenes, so I literally need to be as white as a sheet.'
Unlike the rest of us, Michelle is hoping that the lovely weather we’ve been having lately doesn’t continue.
‘I’m praying there isn’t more sunshine in Manchester in the next few weeks, because I’m going to have to stay indoors if there is.’
