The former Coronation Street star announced she was expecting her first child in December

Michelle Keegan has updated her social media with an updated snap of herself for the first time since announcing her pregnancy news at the end of last year.

The actress, 37, shared the happy news that she and husband of 10 years, Mark Wright, were expecting their first child together in December, and has now emerged on her socials again.


Dressed in a chic and cosy black outfit, the former Coronation Street star shared a snap on her Instagram Story as she enjoyed a hot drink on the sofa.

Pairing the loungewear with matching dachshund slippers, the brunette smiled at the camera with her cute dog perched next to her. Text underneath read "Sunday," along with a love heart.

It comes following reports the two are being eyed up for a fly-on-the-wall documentary about becoming first-time parents.

A source commented: "Michelle and Mark are such a TV power couple, and becoming parents is huge for them.

"A couple of production companies are writing up propositions to see if they’d let in cameras to follow them becoming parents."

They continued to The Sun: "These fly-on-the-wall shows are huge on ITV, as well as streamers like Prime, and there is a huge audience that would love an insight into Michelle and Mark’s world.

"It's all just in the planning stages and no formal approaches have been made but the offers are close to being finalised."

They added the actress is currently filming her final scenes for Sky drama Brassic before she begins her maternity leave.

MailOnline reports Keegan's co-stars are set to film until May, with the Fool Me Once actress scheduled to finish her scenes in the next three weeks as she prepares for motherhood.

Keegan was spotted last week on set for the comedy-drama, sporting a green crew coat as she concealed her baby bump.

Her social media post marks the first time Keegan has broken her cover with her own posts since the big announcement, which was shared on December 29.

The actress and The Only Way is Essex (Towie) star Wright, also 37, tied the knot in 2015, with Keegan having occasionally opened up on hurtful probes into her plans for motherhood in the time since.

In a candid 2019 interview, the actress admitted she felt a lot of "frustration" about constantly being asked when she planned to have her first child.

"It's horrible," she commented, pointing out: "It’s like, 'You're 32. Are you not planning to have a baby yet?'

"People don't know if we're trying. They don't know the background of what's happening.

"It’s no one else's business. In this day and age you shouldn't ask questions like that," she told The Sun.

Taking to social media to share the exciting news last month though, the Mancunian actress posted a sweet snap of her and Wright as she placed a hand on her baby bump at the beach.

She wrote: "2025 is going to be a special one for us…" along with a baby emoji, sparking an array of supportive messages from fellow stars and fans.
