She landed the deal after becoming a major player for Sky, with her comedy-drama Brassic one of the most popular series to air on the platform. A source said: 'Michelle has really been enjoying maternity leave with Palma, but she'll be back to work soon to film these new adverts for Sky. 'She has signed a six-figure deal for the job and is thrilled to have been chosen to appear alongside Idris, who has been their 'face'. 'Brassic is ending after the seventh series and Michelle is keen to still be a part of the Sky brand. 'Landing this ad is huge for Michelle, as she's fast becoming a brand in her own right. "Everything she touches seems to turn to gold.' The actress, 38, found fame as Tina McIntyre on Coronation Street after joining the ITV soap in 2007. But it was after she left in 2014 her career really took off, with hits such as BBC military drama Our Girl from 2016 to 2020, playing Georgie Lane. Last year, she had the starring role as Maya Stern in Netflix's Harlan Coben thriller Fool Me Once — which racked up more than 100 million views globally. Mark Wright and Michelle Keegan take newborn baby Palma to another luxury hotel as they stay in £21k a night suite The show became the streaming service's most watched series of 2024, beating Bridgerton and Baby Reindeer. Michelle also stars in the BBC's Australian drama Ten Pound Poms. The Sun revealed last year that the Manchester-born actress, who is married to Heart radio DJ and former The Only Way is Essex star Mark Wright, 38, was sitting on a £3.6million fortune. Michelle admitted leaving Coronation Street after six years had pushed her onwards to succeed with her career. She said: 'For me, it was a massive learning platform. "I took a long, long time to decide to leave. It was very hard. 'And then, when they told me they were killing off my character and there was no going back, I thought I would never work again. 'My security was ripped away, which made me push forward and work harder.' 3 Idris Elba will join Michelle in leading the Sky brand Unlock even more award-winning articles as The Sun launches brand new membership programme - Sun Club.

David Beckham to guest edit edition of Country Life Magazine

The former England captain and businessman will join the editorial team for the October 22 edition of the magazine with the aim of celebrating what the countryside means to him and his family. He follows in the footsteps of Royal Family members who previously joined the editor-in chief Mark Hedges at the helm, including the King, the Princess Royal and the Queen. Beckham said: 'I am honoured to have been invited to guest edit an edition of a magazine that I have always admired and read. 'I am really looking forward to working with the editorial team to produce an issue that will celebrate what the countryside and the great British landscape means to me and my family.' This comes as Beckham is to be awarded a knighthood in the King's Birthday Honours, according to reports by The Sun. The football star regularly documents his life in the countryside by posting pictures and videos on his Instagram including him harvesting vegetables, gardening and his flock of chickens. Mark Hedges, Country Life editor-in-chief, said: 'I know he has a deep love of the countryside, which has grown since he retired as a professional footballer, although he is, of course, still extremely busy as a businessman and an ambassador for a host of causes, such as Unicef and The King's Foundation, as well as being co-owner of Inter Miami CF in the US and Salford City Football Club in the UK. 'As someone who is passionate about the countryside, I'm excited to see what his special commemorative issue will bring.' The one-off edition aims to highlight how the countryside has played an important part in Beckham's life. It will feature his favourite view, his best-loved recipe and spotlight his rural champions, including the craftsmen and woman who helped shape his home in the Cotswolds. Beckham, who played for his country 115 times, is the only Englishman to score at three different World Cups and his career included the treble-winning campaign of 1998-99, when Manchester United won the Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League. He earned the third highest number of England caps of all time for the men's team, and was captain on 59 occasions. The former winger married Spice Girl Victoria, also known as Posh Spice, in 1999.

Race Across the World fans call for change and say they are 'getting bored'

Race Across the World fans call for change and say they are 'getting bored' One viewer said it was 'too much' Race Across the World's final episode of the fifth series will be aired on Wednesday evening, June 11, on BBC One (Image: BBC ) Fans of Race Across the World have had their say on the fifth series of the BBC travel programme. As it comes to an end, with the final episode airing on Wednesday evening, June 11, many viewers have been sharing their views on the last seven episodes. The fifth series of the BBC competition programme introduced us to five teams, former married couple Yin and Gaz, sisters Elizabeth and Letitia, young couple Fin and Sioned, brothers Brian and Melvyn, and mother and son duo Caroline and Tom. ‌ While Yin and Gaz were eliminated after not reaching the third checkpoint, the four other teams have managed to travel all the way from the Great Wall of China at Huanghuacheng in China, through Nepal and into India. ‌ The final checkpoint will be in Kanyakumari - the southernmost tip of India. The seventh episode saw Caroline and Tom reach first position while Brian and Melvyn ended up last with a 17-hour difference, despite finishing on top in the last checkpoint. While it has undoubtedly been an exciting race for the competitors and the viewers watching from home, with many twists and turns along the way, some fans have expressed their feelings on the recent series and have called for change. On X, formerly known as Twitter, some fans have asked for the series to show less "sob story" segments. Article continues below With each episode, viewers get to find out more about the contestants, who are often friends, family or couples, their lives before the race and their reasons behind taking part in it. One fan, named @Wilderauthor, on X said: "This series producers have ruined Race Across the World with long drawn out sob story segments, it's too much! "People watch for the locations, the experiences, the excitement of the race across the world. Also it jumps too much, one moment they are stuck next they arrive, no info." ‌ Some fans agreed, with one saying: "Said exactly the same last night watching the show." While another fan, named @Supernovadragon on X, had this to say: "Please for future series, less sob stories and more racing. I'm getting bored of the stories." In response, another viewer remarked: "It's fine getting to know the contestants but when it detracts from seeing the adventures there's an issue". ‌ @ThornhillNina said: "These people are watchable enough, they are all worthy. Please stop forcing sob stories it's not X Factor." But not everyone felt the same way. One fan, named @lfc_lara, said: "I'm so obsessed with Brian and Melvyn from Race Across the World. To see older British men speak about their childhoods in the way they do is so moving and so important for reminding young men: your feelings are valid." Article continues below Another fan agreed and responded with: "Watching it now, they are so open about their childhood trauma. Very moving." Viewers can watch the final of Race Across the World on Wednesday, June 11, at 9pm on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
