Michelle Keegan Net Worth $4 Million
Michelle is the older of two children of Jacqueline and Michael Keegan, and apart from English is also of Gibraltarian ancestry from her mother’s side. After matriculating from St Patrick’s RC High School, she enrolled at the Manchester School of Acting, then before diving into the world of acting, Michelle began her professional career at Selfridges & Co., a high end department store in Manchester’s Trafford Centre shopping mall. This job was followed by the position of a check-in agent at Manchester Airport, which engagements provided the modest basis for Michelle Keegan’s current net worth.
Michelle’s acting career began in late 2007 when, from around 900 contestants, she was cast for the recurring role of barmaid Tina McIntyre in ITV’s soap opera series “Coronation Street”, from January 2008. As the episodes passed, Michelle’s role became the central character for several key story lines, earning her a huge dose of popularity. Prior to leaving the show in June 2014, she reprised the same role in the show’s spin-off movie “Coronation Street: Out of Africa” (2008), for which performance Keegan was honored as the Best Newcomer, at The British Soap Awards. It is certain that this 861-episodes long engagement helped Michelle Keegan to dramatically boost not only her popularity, but the total of her net worth as well.
In 2005 Keegan appeared as Tracy in the first season of the “Ordinary Lies” TV series, while in 2016 she briefly appeared in the TV comedy series “Plebs”. In 2016 she starred as Queen Elizabeth I in an episode of the second season of the historical comedy series “Drunk History: UK”, while in 2017 she appeared as Mary Queen of Scots in its third season. These were followed by the leading female role of Tina Moore/Dean in the TV mini-series “Tina and Bobby” during 2017, however, Michelle’s biggest acting engagement after “Coronation Street” occurred in 2016, when she was cast for the role of Corporal Georgia Lane in BBC TV’s drama series “Our Girl”, which she is still portraying. Doubtlessly, all these ventures have added a significant amount to the total of Michelle Keegan’s revenues.
Additionally, Michelle also tried her luck as a radio host, when in 2009 she co-hosted “The Official Chart” broadcast on BBC Radio 1, while between 2014 and 2015 she starred as Tinkerbell during the European tour of “Peter Pan”. In addition to her fame and popularity, and due to her attractive appearance, she has been included in FHM Magazine’s 100 Sexiest Women polls several times between 2010 and 2015, when she was eventually acclaimed as the winner. These accomplishments have certainly made an impact on Michelle Keegan’s net worth.
When it comes to her personal life, Michelle Keegan has been married to English TV personality Mark Wright since May 2015. Prior to this, between 2010 and 2012 she was engaged to British musician, the frontman of The Wanted boy-band, Max George. Michelle is active on several social media networks where she is followed collectively by over seven million fans.
