Michelle Keegan rocks disheveled hair and glam make-up as she RETURNS to Brassic set to resume role as Erin Croft… just days before eagerly-anticipated series five hits screens

Michelle Keegan returned to the set of Brassic on Monday morning.

The former Coronation Street star, 36, who plays single mother Erin Croft in the show, chatted to a member of the crew as she walked with a Dryrobe in her arms.

Dryrobes are garments designed so that you can change anywhere: ‘Designed for changing anywhere, the Dryrobe® Advance protects you from the elements and keeps you warm and dry in any climate.’

Her hair and makeup were perfect for appearing on camera, as she paired the look with a denim jacket with a shearline collar.

Her appearance comes as it was reported that bosses are planning a Brassic Christmas special, which will air this year, following the airing of the fifth season, which will be released later this month.

Michelle beamed at her colleague as she walked into the trailer for her day back on set – although it is unknown whether she was shooting series six or a special.

Original comedy Brassic follows Vinnie O’Neill (Joseph Gilgun) and his five friends, including Michelle’s single mother Erin.

The group struggles to make ends meet in the fictional town of Hawley and often resorts to petty crime for money.

When Dylan’s girlfriend Erin wants to make a fresh start in a new city, Dylan is torn between following her or staying with the friends he considers brothers.

A source told the publication of the festive special: ‘It seems like a long time coming but everyone is happy that Brassic is getting a Christmas special after four years on the box.

‘It’s going to be a foul-mouthed, festive, knees-up Brassic style – forget your fairy tale, it’ll be more like Billy Bob Thonrton’s Bad Santa and The Grinch than your schmaltzy It’s A Wonderful Life.

‘The special episode will be filmed in Manchester and Lancashire next month and the cast are super excited to show what a Christmas in Hawley looks like for the gang of criminal misfits.

“There will also be some surprises in the mix, including a one-off casting of a big name.”

The BAFTA-nominated series began in 2019, when season four of the show was released on Sky Max and Now TV last August.

In February this year, Michelle looked back on the busy time making series five by sharing a collection of behind-the-scenes photos from the set as filming came to a close.

The actress said it had been ‘chaotic chaos’ working with her co-stars on the Sky drama series, sweetly adding that she felt ‘so lucky’ to be part of the ‘special’ show.

Beaming alongside co-stars such as Aaron Heffernan and Lee Mack, who joined the show for the new series, others showed her off for some snaps with the production crew.

Love Island’s Lana Jenkins even made a cameo in the post as she was a make-up artist on the show, ahead of her TV debut in the South African villa.

Sharing a glimpse into what goes on behind the cameras with her 6.3 million Instagram followers, Michelle appeared off-duty as she relaxed with cast and crew for photos.

In others, the tables were even turned as she captured the set’s cameramen in their natural habitat.

The brunette beauty used the caption to reflect on the filming, writing: ‘Wrap on Brassic season 5!!!

‘I can’t believe how quickly the last six months have gone by, six months full of chaotic chaos, freezing cold locations and a lot of love and dedication. I feel so lucky to be working on such a special show. ✨

“I can’t wait for you to see what we’ve been up to. Big love as always ❤️.’

Series four of the show aired last September and the fifth part will be released next month.
