She has come under fire again and again for her heavily made-up appearance on BBC military drama Our Girl.
Yet Michelle Keegan hit back at her ‘sexist’ trolls as she claimed women wear make-up in the army in a cosy chat with The Metro.
The actress, 30, also pointed out she couldn’t wipe off her eyebrows as they are tattooed on when she defended her glamorous looks on the show.
‘You can wear make-up in the army’: Michelle Keegan blasted ‘sexist’ trolls for slamming her flawless warzone look on Our Girl as ‘unrealistic’
Michelle told the publication: ‘I remember when the building collapsed and I got a lot of grief because my eyebrows were still intact. Yeah, there are! Because they are tattooed! I can’t dust them off.
‘Everyone was saying, “Oh she’s wearing make-up and she’s in the Army.” You can wear make-up in the Army. And again, it’s such a sexist thing to point out.
‘And again people in the Army have got micro-bladed eyebrows. I had girls who are in the Army tweeting me going “I’ve got my eyebrows micro-bladed.”’
