Michelle Keegan desperately misses her family when she is away on location shooting 'Our Girl'.
Michelle Keegan and Mark Wright
The TV drama films in South Africa and the British beauty - who is married to TV presenter Mark Wright - admitted the hardest part of the job is being away from her loved ones.
She told The Sun newspaper: "Luckily we have FaceTime now, so that helps massively, but when I go through experiences in my life, even when I was doing 'Our Girl', I was thinking the whole time, 'I wish I could show my mum and dad where I am.'
"And I wish everyone could come out and see what I'm doing.
"But it's nice to come home with those experiences and share them.
"I do miss them a lot when I'm away."
Michelle's husband works on US TV show 'Extra' in Los Angeles and although being apart is difficult, she revealed he has been offered another year-long contract.
She said: "He's been offered. I don't think he's signed yet. It's always been something that we will talk about. I'm just really proud of him. He's done amazing and it's a great job, so we'll see."
While Michelle has made three series of 'Our Girl' so far, she is unsure if she or the programme will return for a fourth.
She said: "I don't know, because there's eight more episodes to go on TV. It just depends on how they go. I know there's talk of it going on again but it's not 100 per cent.
"But I do love the show and I love the crew and the cast and the production."
