Michelle Keegan has revealed that filming has wrapped on Brassic 's seventh and final series, as she bid an emotional farewell to the show on Monday.
The actress, 37, has played Erin Croft in the Sky series since 2019, and in an emotional Instagram post, she paid tribute to the 'small and mighty series' for playing such a 'special' part in her life.
Michelle, who briefly returned to work to film her last scenes after giving birth to her daughter Palma in March, shared a gallery of snaps from her time in the series, including plenty of images with the rest of the Hawley gang.
The show, which focused on petty criminal Vinny (played by co-creator Joe Gilgun) and his gang of thieves attempting to get by in the fictional northern town, will broadcast its final series later this year.
She captioned her post: 'Goodbye Erin…
'So finally the Brassic journey has come to an end (feels so strange saying that) and what an unbelievable seven years it's been. I feel so privileged to have been a small part of such a mighty show.
'From the moment I read the 1st script I knew this job was going to be special & it definitely was.
'Thank you to everyone who worked on the show over the years for the laughs, friendship and more importantly the memories… What a magical seven years we had.'
Last week, as Michelle filmed her final scenes, s he and husband Mark Wright brought along their baby daughter to the set to meet the rest of the Brassic cast.
Brassic's sixth series ended on a jaw-dropping, and literal, cliffhanger, with the entire Hawley gang's lives in jeopardy as their bus hung precarious over a ravine.
In January it was confirmed that the upcoming seventh series would be the last, with co-creator and writer Danny Brocklehurst saying: 'When Joe Gilgun and I sat down to create Brassic, we couldn't have imagined, in our wildest dreams, that we would do seven series and gather such a loyal and loving fan base.
'It's been a complete joy to create this eccentric world, but all good things must come to an end, and we want to stop while we are still riding high.
'Maybe they can finally give us that BAFTA.'
Brassic's blend of slaptick comedy and farcical action sequences has cemented it as one of the nation's favourite modern comedies.
The show has been airing on Sky since 2019, however the first four series' also debuted on Netflix in August and were a huge success
A spokesperson for Sky said of the show ending: 'Fans very quickly became attached to this dynamic group of friends, as they found unconventional ways to win at life in northern suburbia.
'We would like to thank Joe Gilgun, Danny Brocklehurst and the whole cast and crew – past and present – for bringing us all a truly iconic series, which we've loved for its special mix of hilarity and heart.'
David Livingstone, Founder of production company Calamity Films, added: 'Somehow, some crazy stories and a bucketful of truth, combined with an astoundingly talented cast, have created the most loyal fanbase you could ever hope for.
'From Joe Gilgun's unconventional imagination to Danny Brocklehurst's brilliant writing, it's all been a blast. This farewell series is for the fans.'
Leading man and producer Joseph Gilgun has been outspoken about ensuring the show is a warm and sympathetic portrayal of working class life and friendship.
Brassic follows the lives of a group of friends in a fictional town named Hawley, led by Joe's character Vinnie and featuring single mum Erin, played by Michelle.
