Michelle Keegan has opened up about her relationship with "best friend" husband Mark Wright.
The former Coronation Street star, who is currently appearing in Netflix hit Fool Me Once, has been married to the former TOWIE star since 2015.
Speaking on Fearne Cotton's Happy Place podcast, Michelle was asked what makes the couple compatible, the star explaining that it was "just being best friends" and making time for each other when they both have to travel for work.

"I think just being friends and having that relationship, I think we are really lucky where if I go up north, he comes with me if he can and same when I go down south," she added. "We are based down south but if we travel, we go with each other and I think that really works for us."
Mark recently revealed that he "broke down in tears" after seeing his wife's performance in Fool Me Once, saying on his breakfast show: “I turned to my left to tell my wife how much I loved it and how proud I was.
“I broke down. I got a lump in my throat, I did cry like a little bit of soppy, but I think it was just that moment of watching my wife on the screen.

“[She’s] absolutely impeccable [at] what she does – she works so hard to get to where she's got to. [It] seems that people are loving it. So when I'm telling her how proud I am I'm like, oh, my wife's back in the room."
Mark added: “I think it's probably because of a credit to her – she's that good at what she does that it doesn't feel weird. At the time I completely snap out of the fact that that person on that screen playing Maya is the person on the screen instead of my wife who is sat right next to me.”
Based in the 2016 Harlan Coben novel, Fool Me Once focuses on Michelle's character Maya, who sees her supposedly dead husband (Richard Armitage) on a home camera.
Fool Me Once is available on Netflix.
