Michelle Keegan was back to business as usual as she resumed filming upcoming ITV drama The Blame after her weekend of festival fun.

The 38-year-old actress sported a dark purple satin shirt and smart trousers clutching a script in her hands as she headed to the set in Essex on Monday.

She had a leather jacket slumped over her arm to complete the look.

Michelle will play DI Emma Crane in the six-part series, which is written and produced by Megan Gallagher.

The new series is based on debut novel of the same name by Charlotte Langley. 

The Blame centres around the discovery of the body of a teenage figure skater, sending shockwaves through the town of Wakestead. 

The official synopsis of the show reads: 'The drama dives into secrets, suspicion and systemic corruption - all under the surface of this seemingly quiet town.

'The series begins when the body of teenage figure skater Sophie Madsen is discovered, sending shockwaves through the town of Wakestead.

'As DI Crane (Keegan) and DI Radley (Douglas Booth) dig deeper, what starts as a tragic death, spirals into a tangled web of lies, institutional cover-ups, and moral compromise.

'As the clock ticks and trust fractures, Crane must navigate both a murder investigation and the treacherous politics inside her own team.'

Michelle was back at work after enjoying a boozy day out with her rarely seen brother and her husband Mark Wright at BBC Radio 2 in the Park over the weekend.

She was also joined at the festival by her brother Andrew, as they posed in front of the BBC Radio 2 sign and sipped on cider and Arrowtown vodka sodas.

Michelle later shared a selfie with Mark which she captioned: 'Day drinking we can handle [thumbs up].'

The festival was a rare day off for the star, who has been hard at work of late on her new project as well as raising daughter Palma. 

The former Corrie star gave birth to her baby girl back in March this year. She and Mark announced the happy news that they were expecting back in December 2024.

She has since been expertly juggling work commitments with motherhood, and last week, the mum-of-one looked in good spirits as she posed with daughter Palma in her £1.2K iCandy pram on Instagram.

She gushed she has had a 'special first summer with our girl' as she pushed her five-month-old bundle of joy in the pushchair.

Michelle looked incredible in a white crop top which she teamed with blue denim jeans.

Styling her dark tresses loose, the Netflix star kept comfortable in a pair of beige suede trainers and wore a pair of glasses.

Michelle flashed her gorgeous smile as she posed with her luxury pram outside and penned, 'A special first summer with our girl @icandyworlduk #ad'.

The former Coronation Street star isn't the first star to work with iCandy as previously Molly-Mae Hague was spotted using their pram with daughter Bambi.
