Michelle Keegan shows off jaw-dropping toned physique four months after birth
Michelle Keegan took to social media and shared with fans her post-baby body. The 38-year-old actress, who gave birth to her daughter Palma in March, posted a selfie while at her Reformer Pilates class. Wearing a black crop top teamed with matching leggings, the Fool Me Once star looked trim and toned. With her hair tied up in a loose bun, she captioned the post saying: "Love a Sunday class." And it looks as though it's not just her exercise regime that has resumed, so too has her work schedule. Michelle, who shot to fame in as Tina McIntyre Coronation Street, flew to Bulgaria to start filming her latest project and shared with fans a few behind-the-scenes pictures. It remains unknown the title of her latest work project but it appears it is linked to Sky. And it has also been reported that the wife of former TOWIE star Mark Wright has also landed a six-figure advertising deal with Sky.

She captioned the series of pictures saying: "Bulgaria files... with the best of the best." The eye-watering deal will see Michelle film a number of promotional clips alongside actor Idris Elba, who has already shot promo clips for the broadcaster in the past. Michelle's work out picture is not the first time she has shared with fans how well she has snapped back following the birth of her daughter. Earlier this month, Michelle modelled her latest swimwear line with Orfila Bee fashion line. In one snap, she is seen wearing a brown bikini and a straw cowgirl hat.

She captioned her post saying: "We really did make the chicest cover up @orfilabee." And her fans were quick to comment. One person wrote: "Thought she just had a baby?" Meanwhile another said: "How have you just birthed a child?" It has been recently reported that Michelle has been left conflicted over her decision to go back to work and her new role as a mother. A source told the Mirror: "Michelle has always been a hard worker, so she's torn between staying at home with Palma and getting back out there." They added: "It's not an easy industry – you're self-employed so you never know when your next job might be. It's still really early days, but these are the questions she's asking herself, because she's very much in demand. Everything Michelle touches lately seems to turn to gold."

Some A-listers have revealed their plastic surgery secrets but there's a dirty habit wellness-mad celebs won't admit to

And inevitably things can be even more cloak and dagger when it comes to those raking in the big bucks from their uber lucrative side hustle. Step forward, Jennifer Aniston, whose health-oriented endorsements are rumoured to make up half of her current $20 million annual income. Remember when the actress's then-husband, Justin Theroux, posted a video of her smoking on her 53rd birthday in 2022? The incriminating footage – played out to the beat of Taylor Swift's 'Look What You Made Me Do' was hastily deleted, no doubt to protect a $300 million dollar brand that shows little sign of waning.
