Michelle Keegan was back with a bang as filming for series three of Brassic continued in Manchester on Thursday, after shooting had to be postponed late last year due to a Covid-19 outbreak.
The actress, 33, who plays Erin Croft on the Sky One series, suffered a horror crash as she ran over a drunken reveller in the latest scenes shot by the cast.
Michelle was pictured having an angry fight with the suited man on her friend’s hen do, before he flew over the bonnet of her car and smashed her windscreen.

Michelle and the drunken man first shot scenes having a fist fight in the street, while Michelle cowering as he swung a punch at her head.
The dramatic sequence of events appeared to reach its height when Michelle got into her car, only to run over the reveller who was pictured rolling across her windscreen and the bonnet of her car.
The former Coronation Street star was pictured screaming behind the wheel, while the man’s lifeless body lay mere metres away.

Her character was helped out of the car by her two female pals, and the three of them stood at the reveller lying bruised and bloodied, and seemingly dead on the ground.
Michelle looked amazing in her leopard miniskirt with a padded coat, yet it was not her looks that stole the show and was instead her epic acting skills amid the brawl.
Filming on Brassic had only just resumed following a Christmas break, but members of the cast and crew were believed to have tested positive for the virus. MailOnline contacted representatives for Sky One for comment at the time.

Michelle was forced to stop filming last year to isolate as she was exposed to COVID.
While she had come into contact with the virus, she had not contracted it. A source told MailOnline: ‘Michelle had to take time away from the Brassic set once again and has been laying low in Essex with her husband Mark Wright.
Preparation: Michelle was spotted chatting to her stunt double in-between takes
‘She only missed one day of filming. But she needed to isolate after she came into contact with someone in Manchester who had it.
‘Luckily it all happened very quickly and Michelle did not return to the Brassic set before isolating. So it didn’t affect filming too much.
‘She has spent last two weeks in total isolation. She will go back to filming at the end of this week.’
