The 29-year-old actress - who is married to Mark Wright - has admitted she hasn't ever basted a turkey and executed the perfect traditional festive meal or even a roast dinner on other occasions.

Speaking exclusively to BANG Showbiz, the brunette beauty said: "That's the one thing I have never cooked ever - a roast dinner. Never ever."

And the 'Our Girl' star has admitted when she meets with her friends to have a pre-Christmas feast, she is left with one of the most basic jobs, producing stuffing from a packet.

Speaking about her cooking duties, Michelle said: "Me and my friends normally do a yearly Christmas dinner when we all come together and my thing to do is the stuffing. So it's not very hard is it, that's my job. How embarrassing is that."

Michelle has decided to stay out of the kitchen this Christmas and leave the cooking to the experts - her mother, Jacqueline.

She quipped: "So I don't think I'll be doing the cooking, no.

"I'll leave the cooking to the mums, the mums can do that."

However, cooking isn't the only thing Michelle can't quite get her head around, as she has admitted she is "so bad" at Christmas shopping because she leaves it to the last minute.

She said: "I am so bad for that, I will get them [presents] last minute."

Meanwhile, Michelle has admitted she "never" wears any tight clothes on Christmas Day and will adorn a jumper to hide underneath after indulging in the family meal and sweet treats.

She said: "I could never wear something really tight on Christmas Day, not a chance! I normally wear a jumper and a skirt and high boots, that's what I normally do. So I put the jumper over my stomach. That's what I normally do."
