Michelle Keegan shares photo of husband Mark Wright and his 'mistress' at furniture shop

Michelle Keegan and her husband, Mark Wright, have been doing a spot of furniture shopping for their palatial pad in Essex, which is worth a whopping £3.5 million

Michelle Keegan has shared a snap of her husband, Mark Wright, and his "mistress" in a hilarious post on Instagram.

The Fool Me Once actress, 37, has been married to Mark, also 37, for nine years and calls the TOWIE star her "soulmate". However, today she poked fun at her man as she shared a photo of him, dressed all in black, in a furniture shop with their tiny dog peeking out from a fur-lined pet carrier with the caption: "Mark and his mistress @wrighty."

The couple were shopping for their palatial pad in Essex, which is now said to be worth a whopping £3.5 million after Mark and Michelle's extensive renovation work. The sprawling home features a number of glamorously decorated rooms as well as a huge pool and landscaped garden.

Coronation Street star, Michelle, recently admitted there had been a "boring" change in her marriage to Mark. Nine years after tying the knot at St Mary's Church in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk, the actress admitted that their dating life isn't as rock and roll as it used to be as she lifted the lid on their lives behind closed doors.

Speaking to Closer magazine, she said: "I'm happy to have a night on the sofa with our dogs watching TV and relaxing. But we do still like to get dressed up and go out for dinner. In the old days, we'd go out for dinner and drinks until the early hours. But now, after dinner, I'll look at my watch and say, 'It's 9:30pm, we'd better get back home for bedtime!' It's a bit more boring now!"

Despite this, it seems that Michelle is keeping busy with her impressive acting career and it look like she'll have plenty of high-profile projects in the future. Danny Brocklehurst, a producer who has worked with Michelle on shows like Brassic, has predicted she'll be in high demand now.

Speaking to the Daily Star, he said: "I think there's a very high chance we won’t be able to get her for TV shows in the future." Michelle's latest acting job in Fool Me Once has soared in popularity, becoming Netflix's most-watched series so far this year and enthralling viewers across the globe.

Michelle's husband Mark also shared his belief in her acting potential. He suggested she could be the next Bond Girl due to her down-to-earth personality and commitment to her roots, as he discussed on Heart Radio.

He shared: "That is why when she sits there and reads news that she's in the running to be the next Bond Girl, she's like 'nah, no chance, I'm not having it!' But then when you think about it, why not?"
