Michelle Keegan shared an incredible throwback snap on Instagram on Wednesday to mark her dog Phoebe’s 15th birthday.
Among a slew of sweet images and videos of her time with the pooch, the Coronation Street star, 36, looked unrecognisable in a fresh-faced shot taken in the early days of her fame, in which she posed with Phoebe.
The stunner, who soared to fame playing Tina McIntyre in Coronation Street in 2007, has previously shocked fans with her evolving looks, having been accused of going under the knife on a number of occasions.
Michelle previously hit out at the comments, saying: ‘I like the fact people point out that they think I’ve had a nose job. ‘They think I’ve had new cheeks, a new chin – but I haven’t and I don’t think I ever would, if I’m being honest.’
Michelle looked stunning in the shot, as she posed with Phoebe in her arms, while wearing her trademark raven locks in loose lengths with a section pulled off her face while her eyebrows were much thinner than recent shots.

In 2018, Michelle revealed to the Sunday Express’ S Magazine that she’s flattered fans speculate over her appearance, but admitted she wouldn’t down the plastic surgery route, saying that she’s ‘scared it would go wrong’.
While it may not be an option for herself, Michelle did stand up for those who do choose to cosmetically alter their features.
In a nod to the choices of fellow stars, Michelle continued: ‘It’s their face and body and it’s annoying when people slam them for it. Let people live.’
In 2015, she again spoke about surgery, saying: ‘[The speculation] doesn’t really upset me. People always say, “Have you or haven’t you?” But it’s my business. It’s my face. So what if I have or haven’t? I don’t read it when people speculate about it.’
In an interview with Alan Carr in the same year, Michelle denied she had her teeth fixed, insisting they were her own. She declared: ‘Just to say… I have 100 per cent not had my teeth done… They are MY teeth. So I’ll take that as a compliment. Thanks.’
In 2014, again faced with speculation, a spokesperson for Michelle vehemently denied the actress had undergone a breast enhancement operation.

Aside from the striking shot, Michelle looked stunning in a series of images from her life with Phoebe, including the duo doing a jigsaw together, hitting the gym in tandem, larking around in her bed and chilling out on her sofa.
In her accompanying caption, she penned: ‘It’s my baby’s 15th birthday today. They say dogs imprint on one person where they form a strong loving attachment, someone they trust & seek comfort in & how lucky was I that you chose me?…
‘From the moment I brought you home when I was 21 years old we’ve been inseparable, you’re my best friend, my confidant & my home…
‘We’ve been through alot together girl & I couldn’t of asked for a better sidekick. Happy birthday Phoebe (I know you can’t read any of this but I’ll let you eat whatever you want for the next week as it’s a special birthday)’.
Echoing the love for the pooch, her husband Mark Wright, who she married in 2015, penned: ‘Our little girl is the best forever’.
Other celebrities paying tribute included Love Island’s Laura Anderson, Corrie stars Brooke Vincent and Bhavna Limbachia and her sister-in-law Jess Wright.
