Michelle Keegan has left her celebrity pals in tears as she shared an emotional 'baby' post. The actress took to Instagram this week to pay tribute to her beloved pet pooch who was celebrating a very big birthday - as far as dog years are concerned.
Stockport-born Michelle, who shot to fame after appearing on Coronation Street, shared how her dachshund called Phoebe turned 15 this week, and compiled an adorable video montage featuring plenty of unseen snaps of the pair in her honour.
Michelle, who is married to former The Only Way is Essex star Mark Wright with whom she also dotes on chihuahua Pip, set the video to Queen track You're My Best Friend with photos showing Michelle and Phoebe napping together, out on walks and sharing plenty of cuddles.

"They say dogs imprint on one person where they form a strong loving attachment, someone they trust & seek comfort in & how lucky was I that you chose me?" She went on to emotionally share: "From the moment I brought you home when I was 21 years old we’ve been inseparable, you’re my best friend, my confidant & my home.
We’ve been through a lot together girl & I couldn’t of asked for a better sidekick. Happy birthday Phoebe." Michelle, 36, then added at the end of her post: "I know you can’t read any of this but I’ll let you eat whatever you want for the next week as it’s a special birthday." Mark, also 36, was quick to respond to the post, writing: "Out little girl is the best ever," alongside a pink love heart.
