Michelle Keegan agrees six-figure 'Coronation Street' deal

Michelle Keegan has agreed a lucrative golden handcuffs deal with Coronation Street for another year.

ITV is finalising a deal with the actress, who plays barmaid Tina McIntyre in the soap, that will see her £90,000 salary increased to six figures.

A source at the soap told the Sunday Mirror: "Michelle is ­over the moon. She was always ­confident of being offered a new deal but actors' jobs are never secure.

"She says that life just can't get any better at the moment and so far this year has been the best of her life."

Keegan was rumoured to have been offered a £130,000-a-year deal by ITV earlier this year. The actress became engaged to The Wanted's Max George in June.
