Michelle Keegan looks so different in family snaps taken 14 years apart

Michelle Keegan looked almost unrecognisable as she posed alongside a few of her family members before comparing it to a similar photo taken more than a decade ago.

The Brassic actress took to Instagram on Sunday night (May 22) to wish her cousin, Gemma, a happy birthday. And she did so in typical family style as she whipped out a throwback photo and posted it to her Instagram Stories for her millions of followers to see.

She shared two photos which were taken 14 years apart, both of which saw her standing in between to her three cousins, including Gemma, Katie, and Lauren. The four-piece struck the same pose, standing in a line, turning to the side to smile for the camera while also being placed in height order.

And Michelle, 34, looked noticeably different. The first snap showed the former Coronation Street star smiling in a floral dress with her trademark brunette locks styled into curls as they rested over her shoulders. In the second photo, Michelle was pictured in a grey tank top showing off her toned arms while her long tresses had been tied back into a high ponytail.

Michelle wrote under the side-by-side images: "14 years apart." with a heart emoji. She then added: "Happy birthday to my big cuz Gem-ma" with a laughing emoji and another heart emoji.

It comes after the actress, who played Tina McIntyre in Corrie between 2008 and 2014, took to Instagram to tell her 5.7 million followers that she was jetting off on a new adventure. Michelle was smiles as she donned a casual green tracksuit, paired with white chunky trainers and a black bag as she was photographed pushing several suitcases at the airport.
