Michelle Keegan looks stunning in Lycra shorts while on a bike ride

She’s been busy filming the third season of Brassic in Manchester recently.

But Michelle Keegan was in a reflective mood on Sunday, as she joked about her ‘hobby that lasted three weeks’ over the summer as she shared a snap while out on a bike ride.

 The Our Girl actress, 33, showed off her sensational figure in cycling shorts and a sleeveless sports top that fit snugly to her slender frame.

Apparently keen to show off her keen interest in cycling at the time, Michelle wore Lycra clothing from a cycling brand.

She also made sure to protect herself on her journey by wearing a cycling helmet and accessorised with chic shades.

Completing her look, Michelle opted to ride her bike in a pair of white low-top canvas shoes that matched her sleek bicycle.

Joking about how her interest in cycling quickly fizzled out, she wrote in the caption: ‘My hobby that lasted 3 weeks… and what a fantastic 3 weeks they were.’

Michelle recently returned to the set of Brassic 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 at the time Brassic worked around this and continued to film scenes Michelle didn’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 earlier this month.

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.
