Michelle has previously remained coy when speaking about having cosmetic surgery, telling the Star, "People always say 'Have you or haven’t you?' But it’s my business. It’s my face.

"So what if I have or haven’t? I don’t read it when people speculate about it."

However, more recently she denied having work on her face saying she's "too scared".

She explained, "I like the fact people point out they think I've had a nose job.

"They think I've had new cheeks, a new chin – but I haven't and I don't think I ever would, if I'm being honest. I'm scared it would go wrong," she told the Sunday Express.

Michelle first found fame when she strode into Coronation Street as Tina McIntyre in 2008.
