Actress Michelle, 37, today revealed she's also gutted the show has come to an end.
She took to Instagram to post some of her highlights from over the years as she wrapped up her time on set.
Michelle said: 'Goodbye Erin…
'So finally the Brassic journey has come to an end (feels so strange saying that) and what an unbelievable 7 years it's been. I feel so privileged to have been a small part of such a mighty show.'
'From the moment I read the 1st script I knew this job was going to be special & it definitely was.'
Michelle added: 'Thank you to everyone who worked on the show over the years for the laughs, friendship and more importantly the memories… What a magical 7 years we had.'
But there's no doubt Michelle has got enough on at the moment to keep her busy, after she and husband Mark Wright welcomed baby girl Palma last month.
Following the sad news about Brassic in January, Michelle wasted no time in setting the record straight.
Michelle - who shot to fame as Tina McIntyre in Coronation Street and last year starred in huge Netflix hit Fool Me Once - took to social media to hit back at claims Brassic was axed by Sky One.
She said: "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. Sending love to all the Brassic fans out there."

Love Island fans convinced Ben doesn't fancy stunning American bombshell Toni as they spot giveaway sign
LOVE Island fans are convinced Ben doesn't fancy new bombshell Toni - despite the fact she stole him from Shakira in the series opener. Loyal ITV2 viewers threatened to call Ofcom over a brutal show twist which saw the American's arrival as the latest instalment kicked off. 7 7 7 Love Island anchor Maya Jama, 30, delivered a huge bombshell when she entered the villa for a second time in episode one. Her bombshell was that a bombshell was arriving. Glam girl Toni, 24 - who is the first ever late show arrival from the United States - then arrived. The couples were left stunned as Las Vegas pool cabana server Toni said: "Good Evening UK! Surprise!" They quickly worked out she is American and on being the first American bombshell Toni says: "Lucky girl, aren't I?" Maya then explained that Toni was to immediately steal a boy. Toni then opted for Ben, 23, meaning Shakira was left single and vulnerable. Yet viewers aren't convinced it's a winning match. One took to X to write: "Ben doesn't fancy that girl btw." Another mused: "Ben doesn't even look like he wants to be there. This season is about to be a mess." A third then added: "Ben did not want to be picked." It remains to be seen what the taxi driver's next move is - and if he will take the time to get to know Toni, who recently revealed her crippling health battle. NEXT STEPS During Monday's episode, Maya then revealed that Burnley lass Shakira is now single. Maya clarified the brunette beauty wouldn't be dumped from the villa immediately, but instead had 24 hours to graft and steal a boy from someone else. She isn't allowed to take Ben back from Antonia, and if she doesn't get chosen, she'll be packing her bags. But if she does get selected in the next re-coupling round, another girl will be going home. Leaving the group with that cliffhanger, Maya then suggested that the girls keep their "boys very close". The show's six couples with Shakira single are now Toni and Ben, Meg and Dejon, Sophie and Harry, Helena and Conor, Alima and Blu, and Megan and Tommy. Yet it might not look good for Shakira, who entered the villa first alongside Meg Moore, 25. She promptly offended swathes of viewers as she made a stark comment about 9-5 jobs.

Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen no longer owns home after major life update
The 60-year-old nearly drowned while making a Netflix show. Changing Rooms millionaire Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen no longer owns his own home. The TV star and design guru has handed over his Cotswolds estate to his sons-in-law. The 60-year-old survived a terrifying ordeal during a Netflix production, with the "end of life crisis" coming while he was participating in the platform's 'Celebrity Bear Hunt'. In the midst of filming, Llewelyn-Bowen had a brush with death. The chilling event saw him falling unconscious after being pulled under a boat during a water stunt. Now focusing on his future, the 'Changing Rooms' icon is "no longer lord of the manor" at his Cotswolds property, where he resides in the main house with his wife Jackie, also 60. Their youngest daughter Hermione, 27, and her spouse also live at the property, while his eldest daughter Cecile, 30, lives just a stone's throw away on the same grounds with her husband and their two kids. Laurence said: "One of the most amusing things was having to sit down with a solicitor for them to assess whether Jackie and I were being coerced into this by our bullying sons-in-law. "Our friends just can't believe it. They go, 'what happens if you all fall out?'" With a net worth of £8 million, the celebrity penned in his Sunday Times column his rationale: "We're not going to be those old people sitting on a great big pile of cash. Terribly unhappy, terribly lonely. Owning a lot of stuff but not actually having the benefit of it. "We are very, very privileged, but we have made this decision. We have manifested this life." In an intriguing turn of events, the property deeds have been placed in the names of his daughters' husbands, with Hermione commenting: "Hilariously, Cecile and I aren't on the deeds, because we inherit it anyway - it's actually the husbands."

Llewelyn-Bowen opened up in a January column about the grave incident he experienced on Bear Grylls' survival show 'Celebrity Bear Hunt', which was broadcast the following month in February. His harrowing experience still weighed heavily on him. While filming in Costa Rica, the then-59-year-old interior designer was involved in a water-based task that required jumping from a boat. The Mirror reports he became entangled in a bungee line and was dragged underwater beneath the vessel. The frightening event extended for agonising minutes until the production's safety crew rescued the unconscious television star from peril. Before his stint on the reality show, the famous face reflected on his wife's opinion. He noted: "She feels it's got midlife crisis written all over it, although, as I keep telling her, I'm too old to have a midlife crisis, this is more like an end of life crisis. She's actually, frankly, incredibly jealous. She would love to do it and has always been mildly irritated that no one's ever asked her to do something like this. "Because she literally has always had in her handbag, a SAS Survival Guide, to get herself out of all sorts. I meant to bring it actually and again, how foolishly, I completely forgot." According to the Mail, Llewelyn-Bowen invited his offspring and their families over to his posh Cotswolds estate after a revelation. He and his wife Jackie realised they "were rattling around the house like dried peas in a luxury tin." The addition of family life added new vibrancy to their lives, with the celebrity musing: "We certainly aren't sliding into our sixtieth year with boredom calling. We want to use our time wisely and valuably. The way you design your world helps the way you feel. "We have our big manor house filled with children and pieces of brightly coloured plastic and Peppa Pig again. I think its something that more and more people should be doing, for us boomers generation we're all sort of surprised we've made it to 60. I think everyone thought we would live fast and die young rather than live very, very slowly and die really quite old."

Perfume lovers have found an M&S scent which smells identical to Chanel Mademoiselle but for £125 cheaper
MARILYN Monroe famously stated she wore "only Chanel' perfume to bed - which is all very well if you can afford the £135 price tag. Thankfully shoppers have found a 'dupe' for the Chanel Mademoiselle scent at M&S, and it'll only set you back £10. 5 The Marks and Spencer Airport Arrival scent is said to blend 'warm spice with the delicate scent of mimosa.' The description reads: 'Cardamom and pink pepper give a vibrant opening, while violet and iris soften into a base of sandalwood, musk and vanilla.' And for a tenner, this scent could be a huge money-saver. With Chanel Mademoiselle costing £135 at Boots, you can avoid paying £125 for a very similar scent, according to beauty lovers. Bargain hunter Hannah, who posts under @lueurwithhannah, wrote on TikTok: 'If you want to smell like Coco Mademoiselle try this from M&S. 'Same top notes apparently. 'Here for the marks and Spencer dupes.' The designer alternative is said to have an 'ambery woody fragrance with a full-bodied character: sensual, deep and addictive.' It isn't the only M&S perfume to have caused a stir. DUPE SCENTS Alex Pavlova, from the UK, took to social media and claimed a selection of perfume dupes from M&S were so good she had ditched the originals. The £3.50 M&S buy that'll make your whole house smell like a 'boujee candle' She then went on to share four of her favourite ones and how much money the originals cost. The first on her list was a dupe for the £234 Le Labo Santal 33 scent. The cheaper alternative is the Warmth fragrance which costs a fraction of the price at £12. M&S says the expertly blended scent combines aromatic notes of cardamom, cinnamon, cedarwood and sandalwood to evoke a warming feeling of comfort. She also revealed that the Spiced Amber fragrance was a dupe of Paco Rabanne's One Million and saves you £80. Alex was also a fan of Jo Malone's Wood Sage & Sea Salt perfume but at £118 it was on the pricier side. 5 Thankfully, she found a budget-friendly dupe from the British store with their Ocean Musk fragrance. And for those who love the fresh and floral notes of Miss Dior perfume but want to avoid the £122 price tag, you're in luck. Alex revealed that the £10 Blooming Lovely fragrance for M&S was almost identical. Why you should always buy a dupe over designer... Fashion Editor Clemmie Fieldsend says it's time fashion snobs stopped looking down their noses at affordable versions of designer buys. Bargain US supermarket Walmart became a social media sensation when its £60 dupe of Hermès' Birkin bag, dubbed the Wirkin, went viral. Influencer @styledbykristi gushed: "Eighty dollars (£60), you can pretend that you got a Birkin. I mean, everyone will probably know it's not, because who the hell has the money to spend on the real Birkin? Not me.' Me neither. And why bother? I would never spend that on a designer bag (although if someone wants to buy one for me, that's a different story). Plus, if I splashed that much, I'd feel I was being ripped off... We've all been told how the leading brands use the finest leather, thread, dyes and craftsmanship in the world. But all that is inflated by fashion houses to create the desired illusion of exclusivity. Just last year, Dior came under investigation for paying £44 to assemble a bag that sells for £2,000. So while you might think you are paying for top-level craftsmanship carried out by a true artisan, chances are the poorly paid workers are not seeing any of your hard-earned cash. Dupes — not to be mistaken for knock-offs that copy everything from the logo to the inside label — are a more practical and all-round sensible way to go. I bought my first when I was 18. It lasted me four years and only broke after I wore it in the shower. And these days, British high streets have plenty of dupes. In the past three years, Marks & Spencer, H&M and Mango have all seen huge spikes in sales thanks to their canny copies. They use the same viral, must-have marketing tactics that pricey brands have. Fashion folk will tell you that you are making an investment and buying a 'heritage piece' and will turn their noses up at a high street equivalent. But we've been wearing looks inspired by catwalk designers for decades. If we can buy a bag that's the spitting image of the pricier version, but doesn't mean you have to remortgage, why not?
