Michelle Keegan suffers huge blunder as part of set falls on her during Brassic filming

MICHELLE Keegan was almost knocked out when part of the set fell on her during Brassic filming.

The actress, 34, who plays Erin in the hit Sky show, was seen knocking on a door when part of the drain pipe crashed on to her head.

The epic blooper aired tonight as It’ll Be Alright on the Night returned to TV screens.

Ever the professional Michelle laughed off the blunder, saying: “To be fair it was my fault, I was whacking it.”

The star recently wrapped shooting the latest series of Brassic and after a short break she is now in Australia filming her latest project.

She’s flown 10,000 miles to Australia to film a new BBC drama from the team behind Netflix’s raunchy Sex Education.

The six-part series, Ten Pound Poms, follows a group of British emigrees as they leave dreary post-war Britain in 1956 to embark on a life-altering adventure on the other side of the world.

A friend of Michelle’s said: “Michelle has always had one big dream, which is appearing in a period drama and Ten Pound Poms will let her dip her toe in those past times.”

Danny Brocklehurst, Michelle’s boss on Sky Max’s Brassic and BBC One’s Ordinary Lies, is behind the show.

The show will expose Michelle to a whole new audience as Ten Pound Poms will air in Australia too.

But it will mean being away from husband Mark Wright for months.

Last month he revealed that he had turned down a job presenting a huge American dating show because he wanted to be at home with Michelle.

He said: “I would never be able to live away again. I would certainly go back there for a period of time to do a job, but not full time. I don’t like missing my friends and family.”

The couple, who have just celebrated seven years of marriage, have previously made a long distance romance work and are due to move into their dream home any day now.
