As Michelle wowed viewers with her turn as Tina Moore, the first wife of football legend Sir Bobby Moore, ex-Towie star Mark tweeted: "She's just special #Tina&Bobby #wow #loveit."

And he was far from the only person impressed by the former Coronation Street actress's turn opposite Lorne MacFadyen.

Some viewers expressed confusion over Michelle's accent in the programme — with one tweeting that she "keeps going between a northern and southern accent and another calling it a "Mancockney accent" — but reaction to her performance was largely positive.

Another fan said she didn't care what Michelle's accent sounded like, adding: "Put her in anything and I'd watch it."
