Michelle Keegan has been told to get rid of her tan in coming weeks so she can film her final scenes as Tina McIntyre with paler skin.
The 26-year-old star is desperate to achieve paler skin as she prepares to film her final scenes as Tina McIntyre, but she's worried her recent holiday to Dubai with fiancé Mark Wright has left her too orange.
Speaking to the Manchester Evening News, she said: "I've only got four more weeks left on 'Corrie' and so it will soon be the death scenes, so I literally need to be as white as a sheet."
The brunette beauty claims she even went to extreme measures to prevent getting any darker while on holiday, but her naturally olive skin was unable to avoid the effects of the Middle Eastern sunshine.
Michelle - who is half Spanish - explained: "I was only away for a week and wore the highest factor sunscreen to protect my skin, but I just tan so easily. The only problem now is I need my tan to fade - and fast!"
Michelle is now happy to be back in the UK, where she hopes she'll be able to avoid the sun.
She added: "I'm praying there isn't more sunshine in Manchester in the next few weeks, because I'm going to have to stay indoors if there is.
"If I don't fade it will just be a case of lots of make-up to make me look paler."
