First look at Michelle Keegan on set of ITV thriller as she returns to work playing police officer after having baby

ACTRESS Michelle Keegan has been spotted on the set of her new ITV thriller, while returning to work after having baby Palma.

Now, getting fully stuck into work life again, the former Corrie star will return to TV with The Blame.

She’ll play a murder detective in a huge psychological thriller for ITV, and Hollywood heartthrob Douglas Booth will play the role of her lover.

It’s also the first time in eight years that Michelle, 38, has worked with ITV, which is where she shot to fame on Coronation Street between 2008 and 2014.

Michelle has been spotted filming scenes for the thriller for the first time, fully immersed in her role as DI Emma Crane.

The star wore black trousers, a blue top and a black jacket as she took on the role of Emma.

Michelle was pictured on location with the camera crew surrounding her as she filmed at an outdoor park.

She was spotted leaning on a railing in the scenes with forensic gloves on, and chatting to an actress playing the role of a police officer in another shot.

In other snaps, Michelle was pictured with her hair down and brushing up on her script as she walked along.

Other snaps see the Brassic actress strolling through a graveyard and running down a road through a gate, in full investigator mode.

The new drama sees Michelle play DI Emma Crane alongside Douglas as DI Tom Radley who have to investigate what ITV calls: “a tragic death that spirals into a tangled web of lies, institutional cover-ups, and moral compromise.”

A TV insider said: “This is quite sensational return-to-work for Michelle, bagging a big role in a drama which execs are clearly investing in hugely with an all-star cast including hunky Douglas.

“It’s quite a coup for ITV to tempt Michelle back too, because recently she’s been making more shows for the BBC, Sky and Netflix, where she became a huge star.”

The last time Michelle was on ITV was playing Tina Moore, wife of football legend Bobby Moore, in the three-part drama Tina and Bobby in 2017.

Since then she’s had a string of hits including comedy Brassic on Sky, Ten Pound Pomms on BBC One as well as her biggest hit, Fool Me Once, which was viewed a staggering 107 million times in the first six months it was on Netflix.
