DRAMA queen Michelle Keegan has seen her earnings shoot up to £5.4million a year.
The former Coronation Street star took a substantial amount of time off work last year after she became a first time mum with husband Mark Wright.
But new figures for her company, Rosia Productions, show that in the year up to September 2025, Michelle, 39, earned £1.4m more than the £4m she banked the previous year.
A financial expert said: “This shows Michelle still has massive earning power, and her career is going from strength to strength after 18 years on our TV.
“Despite taking time off to become a parent it hasn’t made any difference to her income and she’s still clearly one of the most in-demand stars of British TV”.
It comes after she enjoyed massive success with Harlen Coben’s Fool Me Once in 2024, which was one of Netflix‘s biggest hits, reaching the top spot around the globe.

She announced in December 2024 she was having a baby.
In March daughter Palma Elizabeth Wright came into the world.
Her BBC series, Ten Pound Poms, was cancelled after two series last year, and her other big show, Sky comedy Brassic, also ended.
But last year Michelle also announced last year she was returning to ITV, where her career was launched on Corrie in 2008 playing Tina McIntyre.
She revealed she was making big budget thriller The Blame, starring opposite movie star Douglas Booth, 33, who plays her love interest and colleague.
The cop drama is due to air later this year with the actress playing DI Emma Crane in the six-parter. Booth plays DI Tom Radley.
Discussing coming back to work earlier this year, Michelle said: “Coming back to work after having a baby is quite daunting.
“The production were so supportive and I was so looked after and it was like working with family.”
