To think Michelle Keegan has incredible genes

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

What a horrible thread which was no doubt the aim by mentioning good genes when it’s obvious she has had procedures. Posters have said the following

She has unfortunate ears.

She looks like a chav.

She's married to that thick cunt, imagine having that as your baby's father.

Her ears really stick out.

Mark Wright is pointless.

Her ears seem very large and stick out a bit.

And mumsnet leave comments like this up. I thought mumsnet didn’t allow personal attacks? And mumsnets tagline is ‘making parents lives easier’, I’m sure this will make their lives feel great if they read her for advice being new parents. And to everyone who has had a child bullied and upset due to comments about their ears, I’m sure it’s helping them too right?

Also, as an actress she seems very one dimensional. She can’t seem to be anything but a serious, straight talking, boss woman with problems. I’ve never seen her be funny, or let loose, use a different accent etc!

I agree. I think she's massively overrated as an actress.

She’s from the Cheryl Cole school of good genes. Both were pretty girls when young, I remember Michelle when she started in Coronation st, and I thought she was good looking then. But as the years have gone by, money, grooming, and a bit of cosmetic surgery have made her beautiful. The same thing happened with Cheryl Cole.

Nah. Cheryl Cole was very beautiful - with those doe eyes and dimples.

"Can we really not find anything more interesting to say about her?"

Anyone?

Why, this thread is about how she looks?

She was very pretty naturally so I woukd think she must have been very insecure to have had all those proceedures at such a young age. So I feel quite sorry for her in that respect.

Im not sure if many women can be so slim without severely restricting what they eat/ exercising a huge amount so I ferl sorry for her in that respect too. The pressure to stay that slim must be enormous and have a constant impact on your life.

Michelle Keegan was a soap actor and got very lucky. Shes no Judi Dench in the acting department ( as someone else said she basically plays one character with not a huge amount of depth) so again the pressure to keep a high profile and keep getting the roles must be huge. Its a dog eat dog profession. Look at how many women end up.back in Eastenders having tried to find the level.of fame Michelle Keegan has maintained for many years now. It doesn't just land in your lap.

I heard her once say that she still has treats and the odd Chinese take away etc. She says she will just go to the gym the next day and work out, and eats very healthily the rest of the time.

I know I’m in the minority here, but I actually don’t think she looks so very different to her Corrie days tbh. People gasping “She looks nothing like she used to..” - come off it you lot. Grin

Come off it YOU! She looks like a different woman!

I assume this is some kind of fishing or joke post? MK’s current face is a product of plastic surgery, cosmetic enhancements, and a shit load of makeup and contouring. I don’t think she looks bad but she does look very plastic and fake to me. I’m surprised she’s managing to cling onto an acting career to be honest.

There are so many women out there that really are naturally beautiful. I’m surprised you’ve picked MK out of all of those 🤔

Yeah, in Our Girl and Ten Pound Poms she looked weird, because she was meant to be a soldier in Our Girl, and a woman in the early 1950s in Ten Pound Poms. Her face looked so much out of place in Ten Pound poms. No-one had bloody botox and fillers then! And would a female soldier really be pootling around with a full face of make up and fillers and botox? Daft really.

I agree Cheryl Cole was beautiful and hadn't changed as much when she got to her 30s.

ThatPunnyPeachFatball · 23/03/2025 11:43

She’s had a lot of work done, although she’s had it done quite subtlety over the years and hasn’t gone overboard. She knows her angles too, she’s very pretty but I don’t agree that’s it’s all down to her genes.

Exactly, that's what Im saying. Working off the calories from the odd Chinese takeaway in the gym when you are very slim is pretty disordered. Shes under huge pressure to do that.

Azureshores · 23/03/2025 11:45

She has a very good plastic surgeon you mean?

I caught a bit of that programme she's in at the moment about Brits in Oz - and it was jarring how silly she looked in the 1950's clothes and waved hair with a face full of fillers!

The concept of treats is also quite dodgy. It's just food. Take it or leave it.

It is, but easier than the average person when the gym is in your own home, and you have the means for a personal trainer/nutritionist etc.

I would consider a take away as a treat too, because we rarely have them.

She wasn't ugly, far from it.
Ugly is as ugly does.

She absolutely wasn't ugly before, obviously. I meant it in general terms.

Sorry, I’ve already had one back on forth on this thread with someone who took exception to my DH simply recounting his experience of his night to his wife, not doing that again.

Personally, I find the term “vagina clamping shut” more distasteful than what he said but hey horses for courses!

I just think some women on here have extremely low standards and that makes me sad. I am glad my husband is just nicer than the men I read about on here. Perhaps if multiple posters are telling your husband’s behaviour is unacceptable, there’s something in it?

Just a thought!

I don’t think you have any idea about my standards. We’re strangers on a forum and you’re making an assumption based on an isolated post. I find that a massive stretch and I find it sad that you need feel the need to question the value of my marriage as a result.

Just a thought!

Incredible genes??? Not really @namechangeagain4

She is clearly quite stunning now.

But as has been said, her looks have been enhanced hugely, via surgery, fillers, and botox. She even has a new nose! Her original face is almost unrecognizable!

Pic 1 is when she first appeared on our screens/came into Corrie.

Pic 2 now. Quite the glow up.

She was a cute girl, but nothing outrageously gorgeous. She is all make up, procedures, and fillers now.

Sorry to burst your bubble.

It’s a little sad you can no longer see the family resemblance with her mum which is clear in her old photo shown here. Surgery has changed her looks from being plain ordinary looking

BatchCookBabe · 23/03/2025 11:41

Come off it YOU! She looks like a different woman!

I don’t think she does. The old photo you’ve used there is quite an odd one imo, I was trying to post one earlier where she’s younger and did her make up different, but she definitely looks like the same woman I used to watch as Tina in Corrie. Not denying she’s had surgery etc, I’ll bow to your superior knowledge on that but you’re being a bit OTT saying she looks like a completely different person.

it isn’t an assumption. I am making a judgement based on the information you have given me, which is that your husband comments negatively on the way women look. I am very glad my husband doesn’t do that because men who do that are very small and very sad. I am glad the men around me are better than that.

You should have gone to Specsavers, 👓 She looks totally different from when she was first in Corrie.

But the judgement is based on one snapshot, so it’s a very limited, ill informed and incorrect one.

Does your husband know you fantasise about Bruce Springsteen when you’re having have sex with him? That’s not an assumption. That’s a judgement as you’ve said yourself “he’s the most attractive man in the world to you”. And yes, I know you’ve only said that in one single post, and I know nothing else about you, your marriage or your husband, but you’ve provided that one piece of information, so it must be correct yes?

As I said, you don’t know about my marriage or my standards or my husband and can’t possibly leap to that conclusion from a single snippet of information from one conversation during our 15 years together. Please stop reaching.

Everyone uses that photo to show that she looks like a completely different woman. It's an old photo that is not the most flattering.

Of course she has changed with age, style and surgery, but she is not completely unrecognisable.

Video of her first Corrie appearance.

She was beautiful then and she is beautiful now.

Yep, she was pretty then and still is.

Still looks totally different.

You keep deluding yourself that she has not changed a bit though if it makes you feel better hun. Smile
