MICHELLE Keegan is all smiles as she poses in a bright yellow mini-dress during a winter trip to Dubai.

The Our Girl star looked incredible in the sunny get-up, which she paired with heeled, white ankle boots for a big night out at the marina. ★

She captioned the Instagram pic: “Bright lights, big city.”

RYANAIR won’t tell passengers if they are flying on a controvers­ial Boeing 737 Max plane.

The Irish airline is hoping to add up to 10 of the planes to its fleet next year, once they have a new safety certificat­e.

Ryanair is banking on a March or April delivery date from Boeing – just in time for the summer rush.

But holidaymak­ers will be unaware they are travelling on one of them.

In October 2018, a Lion Air 737 Max crashed in Indonesia, killing 189 people.

Then in March this year, an Ethiopian Airlines flight came down, killing all 157 people on board.

Despite the dual tragedies, Ryanair is confident the planes will be risk-free for passengers in the future.

A spokesman said: “We believe it’s going to be the safest aircraft ever to fly, because it is going to be tested A to Z.

“We are confident in the aircraft and it’s going to be the safest aircraft ever known.

“Consumers are going to like the plane, if it is a great aircraft, and we don’t feel like we need to specify this.”

The spokesman added: “Safety is our No1 priority and the moment it will fly it will be the safest ever flown.”

The Max has been grounded for nine months around the world as regulators study the causes of the crashes.

Earlier this week Boeing said it would halt production of the planes in January after stockpilin­g 400 of them.
