It was recently reported that Michelle was house-hunting in South Africa as she prepares to spend eight months away from her husband Mark Wright.

The brunette beauty is said to be looking for a swanky pad in Cape Town where she films the third series of the hit BBC drama Our Girl, in which she plays the role of Georgie Lane.

The star wants a 'modern, airy flat' in Sea Point, Clifton or Camps Bay areas of Cape Town, according to The Sun on Sunday.

What's up? The former Coronation Street star appeared to be in subdued spirits during the outing

A source told the newspaper: 'The producers have warned that filming could take as long as eight months so she doesn't want to be stuck in hotels like she was during the second series.'

Despite having to spend so long away from home, Michelle - who celebrates her second anniversary with Mark in May - is looking forward to reprising the role of Georgie for her second turn in the BBC drama.

The source said: 'Michelle is looking forward to getting started. She gets on really well with the crew and has become one of the lads onset, so being away from home for so long shouldn't be a huge deal.

'Mark comes to visit occasionally but Michelle tends to get so immersed in her character and the filming that I think she's happy to be left alone for the most part.'

She said: 'The reaction to the show has been overwhelming and I'm really thankful to everyone who's watched and supported it.

'It was an amazing experience filming with such an incredible group of people and I can't wait to do it all over again.'
