Michelle Keegan wraps up before boarding a boat in North Wales while filming Brassic

She recently returned to the set the after it was reported she had to self-isolate for two weeks after being exposed to COVID. 

And Michelle Keegan certainly looked to be hard at work as she was seen filming Brassic in North Wales on Monday, as she prepared to board a boat.

The former Coronation Street actress, 33, who plays Erin Croft in the show, kept herself warm in a padded white jacket while her hair was pulled into plaits. 

Michelle was deep in chat with a crew member, who was wearing a life jacket the same as Michelle’s while getting ready for the scenes. 

She wore her character’s trademark thick gold hoops, while she was perfectly made-up to shoot as filming on the show continued after her COVID exposure.

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.
