After former Coronation Street actress Michelle Keegan stunned viewers in BBC1 military drama Our Girl back in the summer, we were super excited to find out that she'd also landed another major role in ITV's Tina and Bobby – that will be gracing our screen very soon.
The period drama is about English footballer Bobby Moore and his wife Tina and also stars Lorne MacFadyen as Bobby and Patsy Kensit as Tina's mum Betty.
Bobby famously led the England football team to victory in the 1966 World Cup, but the series will see the whole story through the eyes of his wife Tina – documenting the birth of their two children and issues within their marriage.
The stunning actress dons her twin-set and pearls for the mini-series that is set during the Swinging Sixties.
ITV have released the first dramatic trailer for the series, that previews Tina in a wedding dress, giving birth and falling victim to the pressures of life in the spotlight.
Watch it here:
Speaking about the accepting the amazing opportunity, Michelle told Fabulous mag that she thought Tina would be the perfect role, especially as it was set so close to where her and husband Mark Wright now reside.
"When I went for the read-through, Tina was there and we got on really well. She and Bobby used to live in Chigwell, which is 10 minutes away from where we live in Essex."
"It’s a love story, but there are sad elements, too. No one hears the wife’s side when the husband is so famous. It was a very emotional story."
Time to set the telly reminder!
Tina and Bobby starts on January 13 at 9pm on ITV1
