Michelle Keegan just teased some VERY big news to her fans

If you're a fan of Strictly Come Dancing, prepare to get very excited, as it's strongly rumoured that Michelle Keegan will be joining the show's ranks this autumn.

As well as her acting chops, the Coronation Street star apparently has some serious dancing talents too, so much so that she and her new husband Mark Wright performed a special Dirty Dancing routine at their recent wedding.

In an interview this week Michelle hinted that something exciting was coming her way later this year, though she refused to divulge anything further. "We've got something in the pipeline for the beginning of Autumn but I can't say too much because nothing's been signed yet," she told OK! Online.

"I can say though that it's something really exciting."

With Mark's history on Strictly, having made it to the quarter-final last year with professional dancer Karen Hauer, Michelle is no doubt keen to show what she can do too.

The newlywed said she is enjoying being able to focus on new projects outside of acting now that she is not tied into a contract with Coronation Street. As well as her BBC show Our Girl, the actress is also working on her next collection for Lipsy, as well as being the face of Garnier Ambre Solaire. Quite a lot for one lady!

"I mean with Coronation Street you're very restricted with what you can and can't do because you're contracted – so when I was in Corrie I couldn't do anything else," she explained.

"When I left, I can still act which is obviously my passion but I can do other things on the side like the Lipsy collection – I'm just in a really lucky position at the minute."

We really hope one of those "other things" happens to be the new series of Strictly…
