The 45-year-old star - who portrays vet Vanessa Woodfield in the ITV soap - is considering going under the needle, after Lisa (Mandy Dingle) got her first-ever tattoo this week.

Michelle - who has 21-month-old son Teddy with her wife, 'Emmerdale' producer Kate Brooks - wrote on Instagram: "Yes Lisa!!! I’m so tempted to get one"

Lisa, 45, has encouraged Michelle to get inked, admitting she had a "chilled" experience after putting her tat off for five years.

She wrote: "do it!! Babes…listen I put it off for FIVE YEARS…….and the best part is @gerktattoos will make you feel so chilled….it’s fine I promise (sic)"

Lisa - who played tattoo artist Tina Finch in 2018 BBC drama 'Age Before Beauty' - recently took to social media to thank her tattooist Hannah Elizabeth Gehrke after she finally braved an inking.

She wrote: "I DID IT!!! today after five years of putting it off. I had my FIRST TATTOO done….by the superbly talented @gerktattoos @redtattooleeds she’s UNBELIEVABLE…..a gorgeous person, crazy brilliant, when someone’s talented and lovely. I knew I was in safe hands…..the tattoo looks fantastic, everything I imagined and so much more [heart emojis] THANK YOU (sic)"

Lisa previously admitted she had been to a tattoo parlour with the intention of being inked three times, but she couldn't go through with it.

Speaking in 2018, she said: "I have been to the tattoo parlour three times and chickened out."
