WITH her first child due next month, Michelle Keegan is returning to the Brassica set to finish scenes before going on maternity leave.
But as she prepares to fill her time with night feeds and dirty diapers, TV insiders tell me the actress and husband Mark Wright are being targeted for their own series documenting the journey to parenthood.

A source said: “Michelle and Mark are such a TV power couple and becoming parents is a big deal for them. Several production companies are writing proposals on whether to let cameras follow their parentage.
“These fly-on-the-wall shows are huge on ITV as well as streamers like Prime, and there’s a huge audience that would love an insight into Michelle and Mark’s world.
“Everything is still in the planning phase and there are no formal approaches, but the offers are close to finalization.”
They added: “Michelle is currently working on Brassic. She finishes her scenes before going on a break. Her colleagues will remain working until about May, but Michelle has to finish in about three weeks.”

Production companies will have their work cut out for them trying to convince Michelle to go on reality television.
Mark, who shot to fame on Towie, is no stranger to having his every move tracked by the camera.
But since leaving Corrie in 2014, Michelle has done her best to break into more serious acting.
I love her as Erin Croft in Brassico — a show that has been wrongly robbed for Best Comedy at the NTAs year after year.
And her role as Maya Stern in Fool Me Once on Netflix was absolutely outstanding.
It will have to be an impressive offer to turn Michelle’s head.

Red-hot Becky lights up the festival
Temperatures are low and skies are gloomy here in Blighty – but Becky Hill didn’t have to deal with any of that Down Under.
She wore a red lace-up corset as she performed at Auckland’s Golden Lights festival yesterday.

It was a sunny 23C there and I’m not jealous at all. . .
She flew to Australia on Boxing Day and performed a series of festival shows.
But this was her last, so she can finally enjoy her vacation.
I wouldn’t rush back, Becky.
Enjoy the sun while you still can.
MPs rally over AI threat to industry
In music, artificial intelligence has become more present than ever.
But while some artists like Sir Paul McCartney have used it for good, others, including Billie Eilish and Stevie Wonder, have expressed concern.

Dame Caroline Dinenage, chair of the Culture, Media and Sport Committee, has warned strongly against a new government proposal to change the way copyright works for AI companies.
Tech companies would have the potential to train their models on British creative output, including films and songs, without paying or asking for permission.
Writing to me, Caroline MP said: “Labour wants to give global tech giants a free hand over British culture. The government is consulting on radical changes to these rights that risk giving the international tech giant free access to British music, books, films, news and more from the internet without permission or payment to those who created it.
“This is a serious proposal of the Government. Unless, that is, creators expressly ‘reserve their rights’ by integrating a virtual ‘do not steal’ sign into every copy of their work on the internet – an unreasonable, illogical and impossible endeavor.
“I have no doubt that the creative industries will continue to make their feelings very clear.”
Father Ted
TEDDY SWIMS spent most of last year on tour – but he’s clearly made the most of his short time at home as his girlfriend is pregnant with their first child.
The Lose Control singer shared the photos to announce that Raiche Wright is expecting a baby later this year.

But it doesn’t sound like he’ll be there too much in the final weeks of her pregnancy.
He’s set to release new album I’ve Tried Everything But Therapy (Part 2) on January 24th, after dropping new single Are You Even Real featuring Giveon yesterday.
He’ll be at the Grammys next month, where he’s nominated for Best New Artist, and kicks off an arena tour in the UK on March 3.
Champions on the scale
You’ve probably heard The Days by Chrystal, at number 6 on the charts.
But the success was more of a shock for the singer than for anyone else.
She studied law before she started playing music, and she released her debut EP in 2015.
She focused on raising a family until her sister suggested putting songs on streaming services.
Then the house song blew up on the internet and went viral. .
Turning backwards
AS the saying goes, you wait a long time for a bus, and then two come along at once. . .
Now the same could be true for Rolling Stones albums.

The Rolling Stones secretly prepared songs for another record after the release of Hackney DiamondsCredit: Redferns
It has been revealed that the band have been secretly preparing songs for another record after they release Hackney Diamonds in 2023 – their first album of original material in 18 years.
Bill Wyman, the band’s bassist from 1962 to 1993, collaborated with them on a song called Live By The Sword for that record, which featured guest appearances from the late drummer Charlie Watts and Sir Elton John.
Now he’s teased that they’ve made a second song for a future project.
Bill said of Live By The Sword: “They asked me to do a song that’s unfinished and Charlie Watts plays on it. They thought it would be nice to get the original rhythm section back together. It was hard to play and a lot of work. Elton also played piano on it. Mick and the producer said my stuff was good and they were happy. I made two songs and they will save one for the second album.”
That will be music to their fans’ ears, especially since the rockers have gone quiet since their US tour ended last July.
And while they still excel in music, Bill revealed that singer Sir Mick Jagger isn’t so lucky when it comes to football.
Bill told football magazine FourFourTwo: “Mick watches some international football, although he has developed a reputation as a jinx. He supported Brazil when they were humiliated 7-1 by Germany, watched England games when they lost and was a USA supporter when they lost to Ghana.”
Thank god he’s not a Spurs fan like me.
