To think Michelle Keegan has incredible genes

I mean, her mum is nice looking, for sure. But Michelle is next level!

Behind every successful woman is a tribe of other successful women who have her back. Who cares if they have or have not had cosmetic surgery? Personal choice is a thing.

Let's stop being vile now shall we? Can we not just raise each other up (especially to new first time Mums like Michelle) rather than being absolute bitches?

Nobody is being VILE. Just stating facts. Sure Michelle has always been a cute girl. But to suggest that how she looks now (stunning) is down to good genes (as the OP did,) is both farcical, and plain and simple incorrect ... It's fillers, botox, cosmetic procedures, lots of make up, and a great stylist. It is very little to do with 'genetics.'

I have no idea who she is, but the woman in the Before pictures looks pretty and vivacious.
The woman in the After pictures is nobody/anybody. I wouldn't recognise After woman in a room full of women, or even in a line up of 3 women. The only way I'd pick her out is if she was the only woman under 50 in the options.
Hopefully she's happy with her generic look, but I struggle to understand someone without obvious deformity ( or witness protection) going through all that pain and expense for an anonymous look.

Oh here we go again more smoke blown up her arse. She knows full well she's stunning so why keep reminding her. It's not an achievement is it, Its all down to genetics.

And lots of make up, fillers, botox, and procedures.

My DH used to work in Security/ Close Protection and had a job some years back at a fundraising event for Children in Need. He met a number of celebs that night. Apparently John Bishop is a bellend, Gary Barlow is a great singer but a bit up himself, Chris Moyles is actually quite down to earth and polite. Anyway, Michelle was there and at the time was dating Max (don’t know his surname) from the boy band The Wanted. At one point during the night she approached my DH and he had to find her a quiet corner and then escort her to a back exit where there was no paparazzi as she was having a very heated argument on the phone with him. They split up not long after and it turned out he’d cheated.

DH said in person she’s tiny (only 5”3-4 and very petite). He said she is very naturally pretty but her ears really stick out, which once you see is hard to not notice.

I am so so so so glad I have never heard my husband express a negative opinion of another woman’s looks. I think my vagina would clamp shut for ever and never reopen.

He is a better man than your husband @gillefc82 for this reason. I hope your husband looks like a young Bruce Springsteen (the most attractive man in the world to me!) if he’s so confident he can make critical remarks about the way women look. I bet he fucking doesn’t, though.

mydogisthebest · 23/03/2025 09:33

I always thought how attractive she was but watching her in Ten Pound Poms I thought she now doesn't look very attractive at all. In fact fairly plain

cheesestringss · 23/03/2025 09:29

she has way too much done. So many women with too much surgery/fillers have this weird genetic look. I don't understand why anyone would want that. They all start to look alike in a weird way.

I don’t understand why people judge women for having Botox/fillers/surgery etc. it’s their choice it doesn’t affect anyone else ? Why so much judgment?

Because choices are not made in a vacuum. Why is it that young women feel the need to inject these substances into their bodies like this? Are they really doing it for themselves, like they think that they are, what is the purpose of it all? It does not just affect the individual doing it.

I'm old enough to remember when Michelle Keegan first came into the limelight. She looked nothing like she looks now. Her face shape has changed. Her nose has changed. Her jaw line has changed. Her lips have changed. Her eyes have changed. Her chin has changed.
She's had so much cosmetic work done it's hard to know what's her real face anymore.
I find it disturbing when I look at her face because all I see is aesthetic surgery.
She's got nice hair though, I'll give her that.

She looked better before imo, she was really pretty back then. Looks a bit fake now.

I think that Michelle looks beautiful and that whatever work she may have had done (and it seems quite a long list if the posts above are correct!) was obviously her choice.

It just sets such an unattainable standard for everybody else. I wish that I was as beautiful as she is, and it makes me sad about how I look. Which I know is silly but that's the truth 😢

I agree - all it does it make some other women not feel good enough about themselves.

People express such concern about the famous female role-models we have in the media, that portray to our teenage girls and young women that looks are everything, they are what defines them, and that you can’t be deemed beautiful unless you spend thousands of pounds having surgery to change how you look.

The idea that looking like this is to be aspired to is so damaging to our young daughters, teenagers and vulnerable women.

All Michelle does is perpetuate this beauty-driven crap and she is then ironically being applauded for it on here.

TeacherLily · 23/03/2025 09:11

She’s had work done.

There’s absolutely nothing wrong with that at all.

But it isn’t genetics.

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 23/03/2025 09:10

Yes she's obviously had some work done , just compare the before/after pictures .
But she's a world away from the plastic looking women on Reality/Social Media TV ( looking at the TOWIE women -and men- in particular )

The Coronation Street era photos she was earlies 20s , they are very much give us a smile 'Chelle type she looks a bit gauche .
Now she's definately posing , using all the tricks of angles. lighting , making her face more elongated etc.

She was really good in Brassic , I watched "Missing You" but mainly 'cos I liked the coat she was wearing . Grin

Any photos now where the Papparazzi will be out trying to get a shot will either be "First time Mum looks knackered " or "Stylish Michelle Keegan showcases tiny tot in xyz (pick designer) pram" (ie she takes her baby out )

They court the Press , so they will need to expect some intrusion.

Namechangefordaughterevasion · 23/03/2025 09:10

I'm no stranger to a tweakment and I look better for them. Michelle Keegan was naturally pretty and after all the excellent work she has had done she is an absolute beauty.

strawlight · 23/03/2025 09:08

Hang on. OP said “she’s so pretty due to great genes” and people have replied “yes she’s pretty but it’s not just down to genes”. Why is that mean or unkind? It’s factual, no?

RosesAndHellebores · 23/03/2025 09:07

I think she looked better before the work.

Titasaducksarse · 23/03/2025 09:06

Everyone at work was going on about how stunning she is...yes she's lovely but boring looking in my opinion.

Sunnytoday01 · 23/03/2025 09:06

Tbf people are only commenting because the op started a thread which says Michelle Keegan has incredible genes when in fact she doesn’t!

Wakemeupbe4yougogo · 23/03/2025 09:06

I see a desperately insecure woman who has completely changed her face to conform to a society definition of beauty. And the saddest part is that she already had it. I'd also guess she's so insecure still even after all that work that she hid herself away during pregnancy or covered herself with a huge coat unless she released a heavily photoshopped image or photo. When your entire reason for being is based on what you look like in the media, I'd say it's a pretty sad existence overall.

PrettayGood · 23/03/2025 09:04

She’s had loads of very good work done. She was not particularly attractive before.

doodahdayy · 23/03/2025 09:03

She was always very pretty. This thread is very mean spirited when she’s just had a baby. Quite a lot of deluded posters thinking they looked similar in attractiveness to her pre surgery

ssd · 23/03/2025 09:03

I didn't realise she's had so much work done. Bit like kyle jenner, very average looking girl, spent thousands getting plastic surgery, now she's gorgeous. Bella hadid is similar.

brettsalanger · 23/03/2025 09:02

She’s had incredible surgery to make her look naturally beautiful

notacooldad · 23/03/2025 09:01

The headline though!
Michelle’s mother Jackie ‘ breaks her silence’😂
What a load of cobblers!

Tagyoureit · 23/03/2025 09:01

This thread is awful.

I like Michelle Keegan, I think she's beautiful and has always carried herself well with grace.

Her husband was a bit of a wally when younger but who wasn't? They both have worked for what they have so good luck to them.
