She said: "Mark and I feel lucky to work in this industry, but it doesn't dominate our lives. We dip our toe in, then step back to normal life. It’s very boring and probably quite basic, but that’s how I like it."
The glam couple will celebrate their 10 year wedding anniversary in May this year, however the Our Girl star admitted that their “priorities” have changed now they are expecting a baby.
According to a friend of the pair, Michelle and Mark "kept their pregnancy quiet for a long time" as they wanted to enjoy the moment for themselves at first having waited many years for this moment.

Mark's mother said she was "super excited" to welcome another grandchild as she shared the same announcement photo on her Instagram.
Michelle, who shot to fame on the cobbles of Coronation Street, also revealed she is planning to take a break from work after wrapping up on the seventh series of Brassic, Sky’s popular comedy series. However, she did admit that her pregnancy won’t be featured as a storyline in the hit show as she explained she’ll mainly be wearing a lot of big jumpers and coats to conceal her bump.
The Very designer also teased that when she does finish maternity leave at the end of the year, she’ll be starting work on “a big new job,” which she’s been sworn to secrecy.
