Michelle Keegan asked 'are you kidding' over unexpected catsuit appearance following UK return

Michelle Keegan has been flooded with messages after stunning her fans and followers with her first glamourous display since returning to the UK. The actress has only recently been back on home soil after spending a period in Australia with her husband Mark Wright.

The former The Only Way is Essex star joined his wife down under as she filmed the next series of Ten Pound Poms. Michelle, 36, is set to return as nurse Kate Thorne in the BBC's second run of the drama.

The first six-part series aired in May last year and followed a group of Brits as they left dreary post-war Britain in 1956 to embark on a life-altering adventure on the other side of the world.

Following its success, the BBC revealed earlier this year that the drama will return for another installment with Michelle recently heading to Sydney, with the support of her husband Mark Wright, where she was seen filming alongside her fellow cast mates Faye Marsay and Warren Brown as they document their characters' continued adventures in Oz.

But Michelle and Mark, 37, have since returned home and last week, in her first social media post since being back in the UK, the former Coronation Street star shared a pouting selfie as she needed a lift to carry her and her trolley as she partook in a shopping spree.

Taking to her Instagram Story, Michelle, who shot to fame playing Tina McIntyre in the ITV soap from 2008 to 2014, posted a picture of herself in a lift while sporting an all-black ensemble consisting of black skintight leggings and a hoodie under a cropped bomber jacket while her brunette and blonde mixed locks had been curled and tied in a half-up half-down style.

"Back home and back to my happy place... mincing around Home Sense," she wrote alongside the snap in which she leaned against the trolly with one arm and put her fingers up in a peace sign.

She has now, however, been seen posing up a storm while sporting a vibrant catsuit. Michelle was seen sporting the blue-and-red tiger print attire in a string of snaps shared with her millions of social media followers.

Tagging the designer, Michelle revealed that she was wearing the Tiger Blue catsuit from Atu Body Couture. Captioning her post to her 7.3 million followers, in which she could be seen using a patterned wall as her prop, she said: "Keeping it casual [heart emoji] [crazy eyes emoji]"

Former Corrie co-star Helen Flanagan was quick to respond, writing in the comments section: "Er WOW," while actress Lucy-Jo Hudson commented: "Holy s**t best look ever babe!" Fool Me Once co-star Natalia J Anderson cheered: "There she is!" before her fans and followers rushed to react.
