Michelle Keegan dons a face mask and a white quilted coat as she continues to film Brassic

Michelle Keegan looked focused as she continued to film series three of Brassic in Manchester on Friday.

The former Coronation Street actress, 33, who plays Erin Croft, donned a cosy quilted white jacket as she strolled through the set between takes.

The beauty paired this with thigh-high black boots and a selection of shimmering silver jewellery.

The star took precautions against COVID-19 as she sported a protective blue face mask.

Her raven tresses were pulled into a chic updo while a radiant palette of make-up enhanced her pretty features. 

Michelle was also seen catching up with co-star Joanna Higson – who plays Sugar in the series.

Joanna wore an identical quilted jacket in a navy blue hue along with a face mask as she walked along.

Michelle recently returned to the set the day before after it was reported she had to self-isolate for two weeks after being exposed to Covid.   

While she had come into contact with the virus, she had not contracted it. 

A source told MailOnline: ‘Michelle had to take time away from the Brassic set once again and has been laying low in Essex with her husband Mark Wright.  

‘She only missed one day of filming. But she needed to isolate after she came into contact with someone in Manchester who had it.

‘Luckily it all happened very quickly and Michelle did not return to the Brassic set before isolating. So it didn’t affect filming too much.

‘She has spent last two weeks in total isolation. She will go back to filming at the end of this week.’  

MailOnline understands that Brassic has worked around this and continued to films scenes Michelle doesn’t feature in. 

Meanwhile, Michelle and her husband Mark, 33, have certainly used their time at home wisely – deciding to put up their Christmas decorations this weekend.

Despite it still being seven weeks until Christmas Day, the pair – who have been married since 2015 – documented their festive makeover on social media on Sunday, from the delivery of a gigantic tree, to the decorating of it to the impressive finished product.
