Michelle Keegan, 39, revealed a practical approach to staying comfortable during a day of meetings in warm London weather. The actress humorously shared on Instagram that she managed to keep her underarms dry using tissues, a relatable detail amidst her busy promotional schedule.
Keegan is currently promoting the upcoming ITV police drama "The Blame," alongside co-star Douglas Booth, 34. The series is set to air this autumn and features the pair as detectives investigating the murder of a teen ice skater. The drama delves into secrets, suspicion, and systemic corruption within a seemingly quiet town.
Keegan portrays DI Emma Crane, while Booth plays DI Tom Radley. As they investigate the murder, an unexpected lead emerges, uncovering a web of lies and institutional cover-ups that challenge Crane's trust in those around her. A preview shows Crane confronting colleagues, realizing one may have been the last person to see the victim alive, with Booth's character warning of potential repercussions for their department. The trailer also depicts the detectives being ambushed outside the police station.
Keegan previously spoke about her return to work after giving birth to her daughter, Palma, describing the production team for "The Blame" as incredibly supportive. She noted that the experience felt like working with family.
She also discussed her immediate rapport with co-star Douglas Booth, which developed organically through shared quizzes and meals in the makeup chair. This collaboration followed Keegan's acclaimed role in Harlan Coben's Netflix series "Fool Me Once" in 2024, where she played Maya Stern.
Following "The Blame," Keegan has begun filming another adaptation of a Harlan Coben novel, "The Woods." In this project, she will explore the character of Lucy, who is dealing with deep personal secrets, allowing Keegan to delve into vulnerability and emotional complexity.
