Michelle Keegan is set to star as Maya, a mum grieving from the loss of her husband and sister, in the new show Fool Me Once. However, it appears that her adorable onscreen daughter became somewhat confused by the storyline.
Chatting to HELLO! and other reporters about filming the show, Michelle’s co-star Richard Armitage said: “[Your on-screen daughter] actually thought you were her mum,” to which Michelle replied: “Aw, she did! She was so sweet. She was very confident and she loved being around people. Sometimes we’d have to do without her in and you could hear her from upstairs shouting, she wanted to get down and be on the floor with everyone else. She was so good at the job!”
She also spoke about the intense filming on the show, saying: “I loved it, it was very intense and there were long days. But like Joanna [Lumley] said, that’s the reason why you’re in this job, you’re in this industry. If something like this book grips you, you don’t mind! I thoroughly enjoyed it from start to finish. To be part of it, I just felt very lucky, I loved it!”
The Our Girl actress added: “It is a cliche thing to say but you almost become a family and I think every actor says that in any production but this one especially for me was like a family. I was coming in every morning, getting greeted by people I’ve been seeing for months.”
