They added that Michelle is "keen" to remain part of the Sky brand following the end of Brassic, which began in 2019. The source added that joining its adverts is "huge" for Michelle, who is becoming a "brand in her own right". The source concluded: "Everything she touches seems to turn to gold."

She had announced the newborn's arrival in a joint post with her husband Mark Wright, with them saying that they had a "new love to share".She has kept fans updated on parenthood since then as well as posting about her career on the platform. It includes her promoting collaborations with brands such as L'Oréal and her own swimwear brand Orfila Bee in recent months.
