The Coronation Street actress has been voted ‘hottest woman on TV’ by a new FHM poll - beating Hollyoaks’ Jorgie Porter and Inbetweeners’ Emily Atack to the top spot – and the 26 year-old says it’s down her ‘natural’ look.
The fiancé of ex-TOWIE star Mark Wright said that women are sexier when they are not trying to be and are dressed plainly.
She told FHM: ‘I really didn’t expect that! It’s very flattering, especially as I don’t play anyone sexy. My character, Tina, is really dressed down and she’s a tomboy, so I don’t really get it, but I’m chuffed!
'Girls look better when they’re dressed more natural'
‘I agree girls look better when they’re dressed more natural. I think that’s a bit more, not sexy, but real, you know? And I find that more attractive.
‘You know what it is? I think you’re more sexy when you’re not trying,’ she said.
Speaking recently about why Michelle is the one for him, Mark, also 26, said: ‘I just don’t know whether it’s because she’s a Northerner or not, but she’s just so down to earth and friendly.’
The actress is said to be quitting Manchester when she leaves her role on the soap next year to move in with Mark in Essex.
Speaking about her departure from the soap, she said: ‘One minute I’m really excited and then I start feeling nervous again.’
