Michelle Keegan desperately misses her family when she is away on location shooting ‘Our Girl’.
The TV drama films in South Africa and the British beauty – who is married to TV presenter Mark Wright – admitted the hardest part of the job is being away from her loved ones.
She told The Sun newspaper: "Luckily we have FaceTime now, so that helps massively, but when I go through experiences in my life, even when I was doing ‘Our Girl’, I was thinking the whole time, ‘I wish I could show my mum and dad where I am.’
"And I wish everyone could come out and see what I’m doing.
"But it’s nice to come home with those experiences and share them.
"I do miss them a lot when I’m away."
Michelle’s husband works on US TV show ‘Extra’ in Los Angeles and although being apart is difficult, she revealed he has been offered another year-long contract.
She said: "He’s been offered. I don’t think he’s signed yet. It’s always been something that we will talk about. I’m just really proud of him. He’s done amazing and it’s a great job, so we’ll see."
While Michelle has made three series of ‘Our Girl’ so far, she is unsure if she or the programme will return for a fourth.
She said: "I don’t know, because there’s eight more episodes to go on TV. It just depends on how they go. I know there’s talk of it going on again but it’s not 100 per cent.
"But I do love the show and I love the crew and the cast and the production."
