Michelle was forced to stop filming the third series of the show last year in order to isolate after she was exposed to COVID-19, although she did not contract the virus.

A source told MailOnline at the time: ‘Michelle had to take time away from the Brassic set once again and has been laying low in Essex with her husband Mark Wright.

‘She only missed one day of filming. But she needed to isolate after she came into contact with someone in Manchester who had it.

‘Luckily it all happened very quickly and Michelle did not return to the Brassic set before isolating. So it didn’t affect filming too much.
