Michelle Keegan’s fitness secrets

While Michelle has kept her youthful look, her style has evolved massively since her Corrie days. The star now has her own clothing range with Very.

She’s also opened up about how she keeps in shape as well as her diet secrets. Speaking to Cosmopolitan in 2018, Michelle said of her fitness: “I just don’t punish myself, it’s not my life to go to the gym. If I can go to the gym I will, if I can’t, I can’t.”

She added: “I think the more you go, the more you guilt trip yourself because you feel like it’s part of your routine. If I can go four or five times a week, great. If I can only go twice – or once – at least I’ve been.”

When it comes to her diet, Michelle opened up about not eating carbs late at night. She added: “I try not to eat carbs late at night. I hate that feeling of feeling really full before going to bed.”

Has Michelle Keegan had cosmetic surgery?

Many fans have wondered whether Michelle has undergone any cosmetic surgeries over the years.

In 2015, Michelle spoke on the subject of surgery. She told Star magazine: “People always say, ‘Have you or haven’t you?’ But it’s my business. It’s my face. So what if I have or haven’t? I don’t read it when people speculate about it.”

Meanwhile, speaking to the Sunday Express in 2018, Michelle insisted: “I like the fact people point out that they think I’ve had a nose job. They think I’ve had new cheeks, a new chin – but I haven’t and I don’t think I ever would, if I’m being honest. I’m scared it would go wrong!”
