Michelle Keegan lines up huge 'six-figure deal' in first job since having baby
Michelle Keegan has reportedly inked a whopping new six-figure deal, after welcoming her newborn daughter Palma with husband Mark Wright.
The Brassic actress, 38, and former TOWIE star, 38, welcomed daughter Palma Elizabeth Wright on March 6, taking to social media to share the happy news last month.
Alongside a black and white photo of them holding their newborn's tiny hand, the couple penned: 'Together we have a new love to share … Our little girl. Palma Elizabeth Wright… 06.03.25.'
Keegan recently rang in her 38th birthday with Wright and Palma under the Spanish sun in Marbella.
She is now reportedly set to embark on her first major project since giving birth, as The Sun reports she has signed on to become a promotional face for Sky.
The publication has reported Keegan will film advertising material for the broadcaster, alongside Luther star Idris Elba, who has long been a brand ambassador for Sky.
Keegan has an existing relationship with Sky, as she has starred in comedy-drama Brassic since 2019.
Sky confirmed production is well underway on the show's seventh series, which will also be the last we see of the Brassic gang when it returns to screens later this year.
This led to some commentary that the show had been cancelled, but Michelle – who plays Erin Croft – took to Instagram to shut down the speculation.
'And just for the record… Brassic has not been 'AXED' or 'cancelled' it's come to a natural end after 6 fantastic seasons and we're currently in the middle of making the 7th and final season,' she wrote alongside a video of the cast, originally shared by Aaron Heffernan, who plays Ash.
The post on stories continued: 'Sending love to all the Brassic fans out there.'
Sky were also keen to stress the show has not been axed, pointing to Brassic as it's most successful comedy ever.
'Fans very quickly became attached to this dynamic group of friends, as they found unconventional ways to win at life in northern suburbia,' a spokesperson said.
'We would like to thank Joe Gilgun, Danny Brocklehurst and the whole cast and crew – past and present – for bringing us all a truly iconic series, which we've loved for its special mix of hilarity and heart.' More Trending
The series follows Vinnie O'Neill (Gilgun) and his friends in the fictional northern English town of Hawley.
Making their way by committing petty crimes, the group begins to question whether there's more life has to offer them outside their hometown.
Metro contacted Michelle Keegan and Sky for comment.

Mason Mount sends two-word message as Man Utd transfer finally completed
Matheus Cunha has completed his £62.5m move to Manchester United from Wolves, and his new team-mate Mason Mount has already sent a welcome message on social media Mason Mount has taken to social media to send his best wishes to Matheus Cunha following his official move to Manchester United. After the end of the Premier League campaign, the Red Devils didn't waste time swooping in for the Brazilian, activating his hefty £62.5million release clause from Wolves. Cunha emerged as a key figure this past season under Vitor Pereira, notching up 15 top-flight goals and six assists, which played a significant part in keeping his side's Premier League hopes alive as they finished in 16th place. Thursday saw United tie up all loose ends, confirming that the 26-year-old forward has committed to a five-year deal at Old Trafford. Mount, who formerly starred for Chelsea before swapping flags for United two years ago in a deal worth an initial £55m, then posted a heartwarming welcome to Cunha on Instagram. The English playmaker uploaded a picture of new signing Cunha penning his deal and captioned it with a heartfelt message: "Welcome brother!" Overcome with joy at his new chapter, Cunha expressed his fulfillment of his lifelong ambition as a youngster in Brazil, and revealed his aim is to help Ruben Amorim's side get back to the top. "It is hard to put into words my feelings about becoming a Manchester United player," Cunha admitted after his recruitment was made official. "Ever since I was a child in Brazil watching Premier League games on TV at my grandmother's house, United was my favourite English team and I dreamed of wearing the red shirt. "I want to thank my family and everyone who has helped me make that dream a reality. I can't wait for the start of pre-season to get to know my team-mates and prepare for the season ahead. "All my focus is now on working hard to become a valuable part of the team, and helping get this club back to the top," concluded the Brazilian. United's director of football, Jason Wilcox, also couldn't hide his delight as he said (via the Manchester Evening News): "Bringing in Matheus was one of our main priorities for this summer, so we are delighted to have completed his signing so early in the window. "He has proved his ability to succeed in the Premier League as one of the most exciting and productive forwards in England during his time at Wolves, and, before that, in Spain and Germany. "He has all the qualities we are looking for as we seek to build a strong, dynamic and entertaining team capable of challenging for the biggest honours."

The dress, which had a plunging neckline, was made from a crochet material and had frilly detailing on the straps. Amy's slender figure was on full display, with her slender arms visible. Posing while sitting on a chair at a lavish eatery, Amy pouted while holding a flute filled with fizz. Reacting to the snaps she shared, fans were seemingly quite concerned. One person said: "She's a real babe. But wow she looks to thin." Another added: "I love you amy but you are so thin now please take care of yourself." "No more weight loss bad for Yr [heart emoji]," said a third. A fourth then wrote: "Too skinny make you look old." While someone else penned: "Scary for all the young girls seeing this as a role model and what they strive to look like." Amy Childs and fiance Billy DelBosq send defiant message as they celebrate her birthday amid rocky patch rumours and cancelled wedding But though there were many comments sparking concern over Amy's appearance, some fans were praising her for her weight loss. "Amy you look stunning. How did you lose your weight ???" asked one person. While others swooned over her beauty. But Amy was recently forced to put any "fat jab" rumours to bed after fans speculated she might be using Ozempic to achieve her thin frame. Who is Amy Childs? Amy Childs was born June 7, 1990, and is a reality star, model, businesswoman and fashion designer. She shot to fame in 2010 by appearing in ITV2's reality TV show The Only Way Is Essex. She became known for her ditsy, likeable personality and briefly dated fellow cast member Kirk Norcoss. A particularly memorable scene involved her "vajazzling" Sam Faiers in a barbie pink-coloured salon. She left the show in 2011 and took part in Celebrity Big Brother, finishing fourth. She also took part in a fly-on-the-wall documentary, It's All About Amy on Channel 5. Two years later she competed in Channel 4's daredevil show The Jump and was the second person to be eliminated. She is now said to be worth around £5million through her fashion and beauty products. In May, Amy finally opened up about her extreme weight loss, which has seen her shed two stone. Speaking to OK! magazine, she said: "People don't know what is going on behind closed doors. 'I'm going through so much at the minute that the weight has fallen off me. I worry about my mum constantly. 'She's very emotional – she thinks she's going to have another heart attack. 'People think I'm not eating, but I do eat. To be honest, I do feel better when I'm a bit heavier than I am at the moment. 'There's so much going on at the minute – it's the result of pure stress." Addressing fans who had speculated she had used medication to shed the pounds she said: 'I just want to be clear that, as I've said before, I'm not using weight-loss injections." However, she did add: "I did try the jab, but just once about 18 months ago. 'It made me so, so ill. I injected myself and literally a few hours later I threw up three, four times. I've never had sickness like it. The nausea stayed with me for three days. "And it scared me so I stopped immediately. "It doesn't agree with everybody and it obviously didn't agree with me at all.'
