The former ‘Coronation Street’ star and her husband - who tied the knot in 2015 - maintain a “balanced life” together by valuing yummy food and a disciplined exercise regime.

Former 'The Only Way is Essex’ star Mark told The Sun newspaper: “She loves a Chinese takeaway and a curry. We both have a very balanced life and we both work hard in the gym and stay healthy.

“I try to be as healthy as I can and live a balanced life.

“But at the weekend if you want to have a takeaway or eat some junk food do it because you need that balance in your life.”

Ex-'I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!' star Mark - who completed the London Marathon last week with a finishing time of 3 hours and 45 minutes - doesn't think the 'Our Girl' actress would “ever" take part in the mammoth 26.2-mile run.

He said: “I don’t think she’ll ever do it, she doesn’t love to run.”

Michelle has previously admitted she doesn't feel “guilty” when she indulges because she earns it.

She said: “I never feel guilty when I eat cheat because if I’ve been strict all week, I feel like I deserve it.

“I only set myself a target to spend 45 minutes in the gym and then I’m done.”

What's more, the ‘Brassic’ actress revealed her vice of “snacking at night” leads to her feeling bloated in the mornings.

She said: "I’m quite bad at snacking at night, so I am quite full from the night before, if I’m being honest."
