DIARYDIANNE Hat’s Our Girl! Michelle heads home in style for spot of lunch

OUR Girl star Michelle Keegan showed hat’s the way to weekend style as she headed back to home turf for a laid-back catch up with her friends.

Michelle wore a stylish black fedora hat to jazz up her simple grey T-shirt and chic black leather-look cigarette pants as she met up with pals in Hale on Saturday.

And naturally she was turning heads with her visit, although she laughed off the attention she received from the throng of paparazzi photographers on the main Ashley Road in Hale. Former Corrie star Michelle was meeting up with a host of her old friends for lunch at the swanky Victor’s restaurant in Hale. Although she noted how times have changed for her and her pals with a sweet social media post. She took to her Instagram stories to film a video of her friends gathered around the dining table, with almost every other member of the group with a Michelle’s comment on Instagram baby or toddler in tow. She captioned the video: “Excuse me, when did my friends starting having children?? #Nextgeneration.”

Salford-raised Michelle married her reality TV star husband Mark Wright in 2015 in a fairytale ceremony.

The couple are forced to spend weeks apart with their current hectic work schedules,.

Michelle was based in South Africa earlier this year to film the new series of Our Girl, while Mark has been based in LA with his burgeoning TV presenting career in the States.

But the loved-up pair, both 31, say they make their long-distance marriage work with regular FaceTime calls, and jetting to each other when they can.
