What did Michelle Keegan say?

She told Women’s Health: “If I want a cheeseboard one night, I’ll have it, without feeling guilty.

“[Previously] it was always the guilt for me a lot of the time. I would be in the gym for two hours because I was like ‘Oh I’ve really been bad this week, so I need to go in the gym, I need to work it off’.

She added: “I would definitely exercise first because that just sets me up for the day. I’ve already got that exercise done, I can tick it off a list, and I’ll feel a lot better for the day.

“I’ve really got into walking in lockdown.”

What does Michelle’s diet consist of?

When she’s not indulging, Michelle’s diet is still relatively healthy.

Furthermore, she explained: “Breakfast is normally porridge with oat milk, and a few berries in there. Or brown bread with avocado.

“Then for lunch, I normally have a protein base, whether it’s chicken or a fish with veg.”

Meanwhile, she ends the day with “seabass or salmon with soya sauce” for dinner.

How often does Michelle work out?

The former Coronation Street star has always been open about her love of fitness.
