The Stockpot stunner has previously discussed that she removes her wedding ring while filming. 

In 2016, She shared on Twitter: 'No wedding ring, no wedding ring blah blah blah sooooo boring!!! Not that I have to explain but I'm SO sick of these stories…

'I work on camera so I take it off and put it somewhere safe... SIMPLE. Last night I went straight out after work... Hence the NO ring!!!'.

In recent weeks, both Michelle and Mark have been gushing over one another, sharing how excited they are to reunite in the coming weeks for Christmas. 

Her triumphant return comes after she shared a hilarious video of her and the cast singing on the bus as they headed to the last day on set of Our Girl.

Michelle recently revealed that she had no idea she would be away for so long filming Our Girl, as she signed a contract for the third season before it was event commissioned.

Speaking to Radio 1 host Nick Grimshaw she said: 'I wasn't 100% there would be another series but I signed the option for there to be another. Obviously the first time it was for five episodes but this time it was for 12 so it's overly doubled.

'I didn't know that at the time either. It's been a long, long filming schedule. I was away for three months last time and this time I was in South Africa for three months and then I had three weeks off then I was in Malaysia for three months.

'So over all I was away for seven months. It was a long time being away from home. I had to do it, the contract was signed. Book me a flight!'
