Michelle Keegan has hit out at rumours her marriage is on the rocks.

The 'Our Girl' actress is furious that people often speculate about her union with husband Mark Wright and claims that people can't understand why they spend time away from each other to focus on their careers.
She told the Sunday People: "Why can't a woman work away and have a separate career from her husband and still have a good marriage?
"That's the frustrating thing. What do people think goes on? Everything is fine with us.
"We have separate careers. Why is it a bad thing? I speak my mind and it gets me into trouble.
"It's so negative these days, it's b******s. I'm just a normal girl. I'm just doing my job.
"I am married but I don't have to sit at home. That's the frustrating thing and it is going to happen again. Me and Mark know that.
"I've got to go away for work. But we know what to expect now. He will come visit me and it will be fine."
However, she won't be sending Mark saucy pictures while they are apart, explaining: "Oh for God's sake, no. No we wouldn't do that. People hack the iCloud."
Michelle, 29, spent two months filming 'Our Girl' in South Africa last year, while Mark remained in the UK because of his TV and radio commitments.
While Michelle and Mark, 30, definitely want to start a family together in the future, Michelle insisted they are enjoying just spending time with each other for now.
She said: "I've thought about kids and we always say we want them but not yet.
"We are loving life. I'm 30 in June and I want to do something to celebrate it. Mark had about three parties, it lasted a month."
