Michelle Keegan's dad offers FaceTime with famous daughter to get punters to Tenerife bar

Michelle Keegan has shared how her father's offered FaceTime with his 'famous daughter' to pull in punters to his new Tenerife gin bar.

And the Brassic actress, 34, said she receives up to five calls a day due to drinkers taking him up on the offer to chat to her.

But the former soap star has taken dad Mike's rather bizarre sales strategy in her stride as she is happy for her father to pursue his dream business venture.

Appearing on The Jonathan Ross show, to be aired on Saturday, Michelle explained: "They are [proud]. My dad's in Tenerife at the moment, he's bought a bar out there.

"I must have FaceTimes off him five times a day with random customers. He's really proud. I don't know how he drops it in.

"Come in to my bar and get a FaceTime with Michelle!"

Despite her busy schedule Michelle found time to head to the Canary Island with her brother Andrew to show support for her dad's new venture, The Bee's Knees gin bar.

Sharing shots on Instagram Michelle posed with her family wearing bar branded T-shirts behind the bar, alongside the caption: 'Me and the bro went to visit dad's new bar in Tenerife last weekend.

"If you're in Tenners and fancy a pint, go and say hi. Proud of you both for following your dreams.
