Pregnant Michelle Keegan and her husband Mark Wright are said to have been eyed up for a new TV project.
The couple, both 37, announced last month that they are expecting a baby together. They teased in a joint post just after Christmas that this year is "going to be a special one" for them, alongside a photo showcasing her baby bump.
Michelle has since returned to work on Sky's comedy-drama Brassic following the festive break. She was seen on the set of the acclaimed show recently amid production of its seventh series, ahead of welcoming the new arrival.
It has now been reported that she could be approached to appear in a docuseries with Heart Radio host Mark. There's speculation that the couple are being considered for a fly-on-the-wall show about their "journey into parenthood".

@michkeegan/Instagram)Speaking to the Sun, a source said that former Coronation Street cast member Michelle and radio host Mark are "such a TV power couple," adding that becoming parents is "huge" for them. They went on to claim that proposals for the potential docuseries are being written up at the moment.
The source continued by saying: "A couple of production companies are writing up propositions to see if they'd let in cameras to follow them becoming parents." They then added: "These fly-on-the-wall shows are huge on ITV, as well as streamers like Prime, and there is a huge audience that would love an insight into Michelle and Mark's world."
"It's all just in the planning stages and no formal approaches have been made but the offers are close to being finalised," the source add. They then went on to discuss actor Michelle potentially taking a break from filming Brassic later this year.
The source said that she's "pedal to the metal" on the show at the moment, adding that she's "finishing up her scenes" ahead of taking a "break". They said that her co-stars will continue working until around May but Michelle is instead reportedly having to get finished "in about three weeks".
Michelle and Mark - who have been together for over a decade - announced her pregnancy in a post on Instagram last month. The joint post was met with well wishes from both fans and celebrity pals on the platform at the time.
The couple have faced questions over whether they would have a baby over the years and Michelle once described that intrusion as "horrible". As previously reported by the Mirror, she said: "It's horrible. People don't know if we're trying. They don't know the background of what's happening. In this day and age, you shouldn't be asking questions like that. I'm asked purely because I’m a woman. But I'm immune to it now - it's like a reaction, and as soon as I hear it I brush it off as it's no one else's business."
