Michelle Keegan has admitted that despite husband Mark Wright's growing success in the States, she would never want to permanently move out to America with him. Speaking to The One Show's Matt Baker and Alex Jones, she said: "I'd love to work in America but I couldn't see myself living out there full time. I'm a home bird." Shaking her head, she added: "It won't be permanent. Definitely not." The actress also revealed that she has to tone down her accent in Los Angeles, as the locals struggle to understand her Northern twang.

"When I've been out in LA, even if I'm ordering a coffee or something they think I'm Australian," she said. "I have to slow down a lot and pronounce my words to make it a bit easier." Michelle was on the show to promote the upcoming new series of Our Girl, which returns to screens in June.

"All the boys checking in with the wives on the last day… just telling them that life is all good and we're alive!"
