Michelle puts her comedic acting skills to full effect in Sky One’s comedy drama series, Brassic.

Set in Hawley, Lancashire, Brassic follows Vinnie (Joseph ‘Joe’ Gilgun) and his gang of mates who get up to no good in the town.

4. Ordinary Lies - Tracy Shawcross

Michelle’s first role after she left Corrie was in BBC One’s TV drama Ordinary Lies, which was written by Danny Brocklehurst (Brassic).

Set in a car showroom, the drama explored the dark secrets that 'ordinary' people are hiding.

Michelle played the character of Tracy Shawcross, a receptionist who becomes involved with drug trafficking, in the show's first series.
