Corrie actress 'not like her character'

Coronation Street actress Michelle Keegan has revealed that she is not like her character on the show.

The 21-year-old said that fans are surprised when they see her outside the soap with hardly any resemblance to Tina McIntyre.

"I know Tina is the kind of girl to wear a tracksuit all the time but it’s just a role I play," she told the Daily Star.

However, Keegan admitted earlier this year that she dressed in a similar fashion to her on-screen counterpart before she joined the soap.

"I was chavtastic! I used to walk around with no makeup on, my hair pulled back and wearing trackie bottoms and a hoodie," she said.
