Can Mark & Michelle Survive Over A Year Apart?

Michelle Keegan and her husband Mark Wright are facing a massive 10 months away from each other as she prepares to film the new series of BBC drama Our Girl in South Africa – and Now can reveal the actress, 29, is set to stay away until just before Christmas. But in an even bigger blow to the couple’s relationship, Now understands Michelle will fly out again after Christmas for further work projects, this time in the US.

While Michelle doesn’t start filming Our Girl until 1 May, she’s off to South Africa early to join a bootcamp in preparation for her role as Corporal Georgie Lane. Plus, as Now revealed last month, she’s also planning a private safari to get herself acclimatised to the country again.

Michelle will be filming until the start of July, then has a short break before a second demanding block between August and the end of October.
