Michelle Keegan had fans doing a double take as she went with her family to watch Disney's The Lion King at the Palace Theatre, Manchester. The Brassic actress and former Coronation Street star, from Stockport, and her mum Jackie Thornton headed out on the town.
They were joined by Michelle's cousins Katie Fearnehough and Lauren Bell and their mums Deborah Fearnehough and Samantha Bell for the musical night. Michelle, who also played Lance Corporal Georgie Lane in the BBC drama Our Girl, proudly wrote on her Instagram: "What it’s all about Friday night in the city with our mums. #lucky #family."
The compliments came flooding in over the stunning family and heatherivan asked: "Which one is Michelle Keegan? We can't decide." And jacobson5079 gasped: "@heatherivan I couldn't work this out either!"
