'Coronation Street's Michelle Keegan: 'I don't think I'm sexy'

Coronation Street star Michelle Keegan has claimed that she cannot understand her sex symbol status.

The 24-year-old, who plays Rovers Return barmaid Tina McIntyre, said that she was surprised to be named 'Sexiest Female' at the Inside Soap Awards this week.

Keegan further explained that she considered her fiancé, The Wanted singer Max George, to be easier on the eyes.

"Max is very proud that I won this award but he's a lot sexier than I am," she told The Mirror. "My friends and my mum laugh at me because I am the most un-sexy person in the world. I go to Tesco in my PJs."

Keegan added that her commitment to Coronation Street had prevented her and George from planning their wedding.

"I've been working non-stop," she said. "And the ­engagement was a shock - I haven't thought past it."
