Michelle Keegan only has four weeks left until she leaves Coronation Street for good, and the star has exclusively revealed that she's "really excited" about her departure. More importantly, she can't wait to ditch her character Tina McIntyre's style.

"I can't wait! She hasn't got the best style in the world has she? She's a bit chavvy and dresses down a lot. Every time I see a new outfit, I just think 'I don't care – it's not me, it's Tina, bless her!' and put it on," Michelle told HELLO! Online ahead of the launch of her highly-anticipated new fashion and beauty blog.

"I read the script for my final scenes but I don't know who the murderer is. I don't think they will tell me until the last minute, it's out of a few people. I keep asking people what the answer is but nobody will tell me!", she confessed.
