The former 'Coronation Street' star ditched the local nightclubs of Essex and chowed down on her favourite fast food during a night of musical rivalry to celebrate the start of 2016 with her husband Mark Wright's family.

The 28-year-old stunner - who married the former 'The Only Way Is Essex' star in May last year - said: "I spent my New Year's Eve with Mark's family, we got a massive Chinese banquet for 30 people... there were actually around 30 of us, it wasn't 8 of us eating a banquet for 30 people! And we enjoyed taking turns on my new karaoke machine all night long."

However, despite letting her hair down over the festive period, Michelle is already back to her healthy eating regime.

Writing in her blog for Hello! magazine, she confessed: "I've had about two months off and I am already back on it and feeling good. This isn't about diets, it's about improving fitness levels and healthy eating. I've already started on my breakfast juices, using fruit and veg."

Meanwhile, the brunette beauty is currently preparing for her forthcoming lead role in the BBC drama 'Our Girl', in which she has replaced former 'EastEnders' actress Lacey Turner as a medic in the British army, and is keen to up her fitness levels for the tough role.

She said: "Filming for 'Our Girl' is going to start soon, so I want to improve my fitness levels for this. I will be going to circuit training around twice a week... I still can't do five pull ups! This is one of the challenges I have set myself. I can do around three at the moment."
