She has been blessed with a naturally slim figure.

And it seems that this is a gift that Michelle Keegan takes for granted, as she has confessed that she doesn't worry at all about putting on weight... because she knows she can quickly lose it again.

Speaking to OK! magazine's Diet and Fitness special, the actress - who boasts enviable petite curves - said: 'If I know I've put on a bit of weight, I'm not bothered, because I know when I got to the gym again I will tone up.'

The 28-year-old beauty added that she doesn't 'take it seriously' and revealed: 'I can't resist savoury food. I love my carbs!' 

The former Coronation Street star's comments may come as little surprise to her legions of fans, who praise her for her toned, honed figure when she steps out in flattering clothes - either a red carpet gown or her gym gear.

Michelle is certainly an eye-catching star, and is a fan of figure-hugging dresses and slinky garments, and recently shared an eye-popping bikini snap while filming TV show Our Girl in South Africa.

The sexy Instagram snap, taken from over her shoulder as she laid on her front in the sunshine, she revealed her petite and pert derriere and whittled waistline.

And, although a lot of her stunning physique is down to genetics, Michelle does work out hard in the gym.

But it's something that she and her hunky husband Mark Wright tend to disagree over, as she confessed that he still tries to get involved with her workouts.

'He does come over and try and give me tips, which really annoys me. It makes me train harder. It's all about weight and resistance training for me,' she divulged.

Meanwhile, Michelle is currently still located in South Africa as she continues work on BBC One Drama Our Girl, in which she plays leading character Corporal Georgie Lane, having been cast to replace Lacey Turner.

She arrived in the country five weeks ago and couldn't resist boasting about the idyllic location on her social-media profile at the time.

Meanwhile, her husband Mark Wright  - who she has been married to since last May - is prepping his summer body in between his own various television projects.

The former TOWIE star proved he and his actress wife are very much in sync despite the distance as he too took to Instagram with a barely-clothed snap earlier this month

Baring his impressively-sculpted torso, the 29-year-old captioned it: 'Someone said summer is on its way, I say I'm getting ready !!' 

No thanks! Michelle joked that husband Mark Wright often tries to tell her what to do in the gym... so she refuses to work out with him
