Michelle Keegan introduces new dachshund puppy - and she's adorable

Michelle Keegan has welcomed the latest addition to her family, and she's a beauty.

The former Our Girl and Coronation Street star has introduced fans to Nelly the miniature dachshund.

"Welcome to the family pretty girl. #nelly #minidachshund," she wrote on her Instagram with a photo of herself cradling the adorable pup as she gazed adoringly at Nelly.

The actress from Irlam drove followers wild with her announcement, later explaining that it's her brother's dog.

Catherine Tyldesley, who played Eva Price in Corrie, posted a stream of love-heart eyed emojis.

"Big pic," said fellow former co-star Ryan Thomas in approval.

"Can't cope with her," said Emmerdale star Charley Webb.

"Awwwwwwww it’s too much cuteness to cope with!" cried one fan.

"Oh how adorable," said another follower.

And another fan said: "Great choice."

Michelle, who plays Erin in the Sky One comedy drama Brassic and played Tina McIntyre in Corrie and the army medic Lance Corporal Georgie Lane in the BBC One drama Our Girl, has a dachshund called Phoebe and a chihuahua called Pip.

Last year Michelle, 33, who is married to former The Only Way Is Essex star Mark Wright, shared a photo of herself cradling her dachshund and told followers that they're her 'best friend.'

"Whoever said that diamonds are a girls best friend never owned a dog," she said.

In lockdown she posted a photo of herself cuddling Phoebe on a lounger while soaking up the sun with the words: "My lockdown essentials."

And Pip recently made a cameo appearance in a video Michelle made for her latest fashion collection with Very.
