Michelle Keegan loves tanning Mark Wright.
The ‘Ordinary Lies’ actress is happy to give her fiance a bronzed glow at home but admits her efforts weren’t good enough when he was competing on ‘Strictly Come Dancing’.
She said: "I did it all the time when he was on ‘Strictly’ but he was never brown enough – the professionals had to take over.
"I think he enjoyed it.
"So many men get their wives to put a cheeky bit of tan on them, and they actually look good and benefit from it."
Michelle regularly tans herself and has perfected her own technique over the years.
She explained: "I do it before I go to bed so it doesn’t streak. I just spray it on my face in vertical lines from forehead to chin.
"When I wake up in the morning, I wash it off and it gives me a natural glow.
"I never do it in a rush and I always wait a while before putting on clothes, especially tight trousers or jeans. Sometimes I even use the hairdryer to speed things up."
The former ‘Coronation Street’ actress also relies on fake tan if she needs a body boost.
She told Look magazine: "I should exercise more… A good tan always makes me feel more toned though.
"When I feel a bit run down and I’ve got an event coming up, I tan. I used to go on sunbeds when I was younger but not anymore."
