Michelle Keegan looks incredible in black blazer dress as she joins co-star Joanna Lumley at Fool Me Once photocall

Michelle Keegan and Joanna Lumley cut glamorous figures as they attended the photocall for their new Netflix series Fool Me Once.

The pair star alongside each other in the new thriller which is based on authro Harlan Coben’s novel of the same name.

Michelle, 36, looked radiant as ever for the event as she donned a black blazer dress which she wore with matching tights.

The Our Girl star added height to her frame with a pair of matching heels while she let her brunette locks fall loose down her shoulders.

Joanna, 77, opted for a black top and matching trousers while wrapping up warm in a matching coat. 

The pair were joined by their co-star Richard Armitage who looked dapper in a tan suit with a red turtle neck jumper.

Michelle, who portrays distressed widow Maya Stern, gushed that the Finding Alice star, 77, made her ‘feel very comfortable’ on set. 

She revealed that Joanna, who plays Maya’s murdered husband’s mother Judith Burkett, pushed her to be ‘more feisty’ in scenes.

Despite this Michelle said she still couldn’t bring herself to ‘swear in Joanna’s face’ during rehearsals. 

She said: ‘They were so much fun. I mean it’s not every day that you tell Joanna Lumley to F-off! That was quite nerve racking.

‘She made me feel very comfortable from the off. She’s such a legend. Me and my cousin grew up watching Ab Fab, so I was such a huge fan.

‘In our scenes our characters do go head-to-head. She is so good at playing that feisty role and it made me go a bit feistier. I had to match that energy. 

‘But in the rehearsals, I wouldn’t swear. I would just say, “The F word”. On a take I’d swear but in rehearsals I wouldn’t swear in her face. I couldn’t do.’

Last week the highly anticipated thrilled dropped its first teaser clip and fans got a glimpse at Michelle as she transformed into distressed widow Maya.

In the clip, Maya tries to come to terms with the brutal murder of her husband, Joe (Richard Armitage).

The trailer shows happy beginnings for the couple on their wedding day and family life before Maya’s world is torn apart. 

As the story develops Maya installs a nanny-cam to keep an eye on her young daughter and she is shocked to see a man she recognises in her house, her husband, who she thought was dead. 

Detective Sergeant Sami Kierce (Adeel Akhtar) leads the homicide investigation into Joe’s death while grappling with secrets of his own. 

All episodes of Fool Me Once are available on Netflix from 1st January 2024.
