Former Coronation Street star Michelle Keegan sprang a cute surprise on fans in a new Instagram video.
Michelle had fun modelling her new winter clothing collection from her plush home in Essex as she switched from comfy joggers and socks to leggings and a cosy jumper teamed with a teddy coat and clumpy boots.
The 33-year-old Stockport actress, who lives in Essex with her husband Mark Wright, waved cheerily as she headed for the door - and then came the surprise.
Quick as a flash she was back to pick up something she'd forgotten - and it turned out to be her adorable pet dog.
Michelle, who played Tina McIntyre in Corrie and now plays Erin in the Sky One comedy drama Brassic, indicated "one minute" to the camera.
And she reappeared carrying her beloved chihuahua Pip.
Blowing a kiss to camera she then left the house carrying her pooch.
"Love! I thought she came back for a face mask then she picked up her dog," messaged one follower.
"Cute!" said another.
"Fab!" enthused another fan.
And another commented: "Love it especially the end."
In October Michelle issued a warning to fellow dog owners after rushing her other dog Phoebe, a dachshund, to the vets.
She raced to help her after realising Phoebe had sneakily eaten a flapjack containing raisins.
Grapes and raisins are toxic to dogs and can lead to acute kidney failure or even death.
Luckily Michelle knew this and got her to the vets immediately, and Phoebe recovered after being given an injection to make her vomit.
"Three hours later, she's ok just feeling a little nauseous (and a little sorry for herself)," she said on her social media.
"Don't feed your dogs raisins!!! The most expensive flapjack I've ever bought."
Michelle has been working on the third series of Brassic which is filmed in Lancashire.
After Corrie she went on to play army medic Georgie Lane in the BBC drama Our Girl and Tina Dean in Tina and Bobby, the love story of England footballer legend Bobby Moore and his wife.
She left the soap in the most dramatic fashion six years ago when her character Tina was killed off.
