She's estimated to have a jaw-dropping net worth of £12million when combined with husband Mark Wright.
However, Michelle Keegan has revealed that she wasn't always so wealthy, and used to steal food as a child in order to eat during her deprived upbringing in Greater Manchester.
The actress, 34, dubbed herself a 'little pest', adding that her mum Jackie would also swipe the leftovers from her job as a school dinner lady for her own table at home.

The former Coronation Street star explained she became very familiar with jumping over garden fences, where her neighbours would give her bread and ice cream.
She told The Mirror, 'I lived next to a lady and gent called Pat and Martin and I used to climb over their fence. I remember the bread they would give me. The cut was so thick it was like a door stopper.
'On the other side, I had Brenda and Barry and they used to get me ice cream with a Flake. I used to climb over the other fence to get my ice cream off them.'

Michelle went as far as to help herself to produce from nearby farmers' fields where she would 'nick vegetables' all the time.
'They used to grow lettuces, carrots and potatoes. We never used to go to the supermarket. We were nicking vegetables off that farmer. Climbing over fences getting food,' she concluded.
It's a far cry from Michelle's life now, as she prepares to move into her '£3.5million' dream home in Essex.
