Michelle Keegan has revealed the key to her and Mark Wright's long and successful marriage.
The Fool Me Once star shared that she and former TOWIE icon Mark Wright are "best friends" and have "freedom" in their respective careers reports the Mirror.
The 36-year-old actor has been in a relationship with Mark for more than a decade, and the pair will celebrate their ninth wedding anniversary later this year, having wed in 2015.
When probed about their relationship by Fearne Cotton, whilst a guest on the latest episode of the Happy Place podcast, Michelle told the podcast host that the years have "gone so fast".
Asked what makes her compatible with Mark - who has become a presenter following his reality show years- Michelle said: "I think just being best friends. I think just being friends and having that relationship."
She further commented: "I think we're really lucky where if I go up north, he comes with me if he can, and same with down south. So we're based down south but if we travel, we go with each other and I think that really works for us."
Fearne then asked about the couple having been in different continents at times.
This included when Michelle - who rose to fame on ITV soap opera Coronation Street - filmed BBC show Ten Pound Poms in Australia in 2022.
The host asked: "You've had periods where you have been in totally different continents. How have you made it work long distance? There are plenty of people [who have long distance relationships]. What keeps you on the right track?"
Michelle responded: "That's the thing - we're not the first to it. And it is a job thing."
Discussing the project in Australia, she continued on the podcast: "I had like two months alone but then he'd come out and stay with me for six weeks."
