| Updated:

Michelle Keegan has been whisked abroad by her pals for a late 30th birthday celebration – and husband Mark Wright’s jetted out to join them as well.

The ex Coronation Street star’s birthday was on June 3 but she missed out on a party because she was over in South Africa filming the third series of Our Girl.

But now shooting on the BBC One drama has wrapped and she’s back home, the brunette star’s best mates have put their 30th birthday celebration plans into action, treating Mich to a glam holiday in Majorca.

Michelle began filming Our Girl back in May, slipping back into the shoes of army medic Georgie Lane, and only finished shooting last month, meaning it was a long spell away from home.

So it’s no surprise that hubby Mark, 30, and her best mates were thrilled to get Michelle home.

Michelle’s BFF and cousin Katie Fearnehough shared a snap of her and Michelle together on the holiday island with the caption: “Golden hour for my golden girl. Late 30th birthday surprises for this one @michkeegan god I have missed her.”

Another mate, Roisin Shinny, uploaded a group shot of the girls and one of Michelle jokingly puckering up to her on a night out in Majorca.

Michelle kicked off her sunny birthday trip by slipping into a black bandeau bikini and oversized sunglasses to do a spot of sunbathing and cocktail sipping on the beach.

She shared a couple of snaps to Instagram showing her pouting up a storm and then shimmying for the camera alongside BFF Katie.

Her pal Chrissy Carroll also shared a video of Michelle rather seductively keeping cool with a pretty patterned fan while wearing an off the shoulder white floral swimsuit.

After attending a pool party with her pals in the sunshine, Michelle met up with Mark and lazily reclined on a sun lounger next to him.

Mark gave fans a glimpse of his wife on Instagram Stories while he was bigging up a club appearance he was scheduled to do in Majorca.

As he promoted his event, Michelle was seen scrolling through her phone in the background.

When the sun set, the pals went off to enjoy dinner before dancing up a storm at a local night club.

Pictures shared by Michelle’s friends showed the group indulging in a round of shots before heading out, while Mark later caught his wife on camera showing off her best moves on the dancefloor.

While Michelle had to spend her big 3-0 away from family and friends, she did get treated to a cake on the Our Girl set by cast and crew.

She posted a video to Instagram showing her in full army gear holding a bunch of birthday balloons and cutting into a delicious looking chocolate cake.

Mich wrote in the caption: “Although I wasn’t at home yesterday and missed my family and friends, the Our Girl cast and production team helped to make my birthday so special.

“Thank you so much… Forever grateful!”

Ex TOWIE star Mark, meanwhile, celebrated Michelle’s birthday with a public declaration of love.

He wrote on Instagram: “Happy birthday to the best friend I ever had…. my rock, my love and the person who gives me more joy than anything in the world. THE 1.”

Mark flew out to visit Michelle on the Our Girl set whenever he could, although he’s been kept busy over the last few months with his own work projects which include a new showbiz correspondent role on US TV show Extra.
