Luke Pasqualino thinks Michelle Keegan is "beautiful and lovely inside and out."
The ‘Our Girl’ hunk – who plays the brunette beauty’s on-screen on/off boyfriend Elvis Harte – has thoroughly enjoyed working with the 30-year-old actress over the past two series of the war drama because she’s so "talented" and "hilarious."
Speaking to the BBC, he said: "Michelle’s great. She’s absolutely great. She’s incredibly professional, she’s very very talented – she’s very open to playing around with the scene, always trying to enhance the scene in any way that we can.
"And she’s brilliant – she’s so easy to work with, she’s got such a great energy, which really helps. Working with Michelle is amazing – she’s hilarious.
"How could anyone not get on with Michelle? She’s beautiful and lovely inside and out, and Michelle has really taken the show to new levels."
The third series will hit television screens on October 10 – almost a year after the second instalment concluded – and, although not much is known about the storyline, the 27-year-old actor has teased that it will see Elvis try to win back Lance Corporal Georgie Lane (Michelle), while they’re deployed on three missions together.
He explained: "She [Georgie] obviously still has her guard up and that frustrates Elvis, to know that there’s little he can say or do to win her back, but that doesn’t stop him from trying! I do respect him for that."
The last series saw Georgie jilt her fiance Dr Jamie Cole (Royce Pierreson) at the altar when she realised she was still in love with her former flame Elvis – who is part of the Special Forces – after he saved her life when she was helped captive by the Taliban.
Although the pair didn’t get back together after their romantic moment back in Manchester, fans are no doubt hoping that there’s a happy ending for them this time.
