Michelle Keegan enjoys a solo coffee date in Essex after claims her family were left ‘upset on her wedding day over comments from her in-laws’

Michelle Keegan was spotted having coffee alone in Essex on Saturday, following reports that her family felt hurt by comments made by her in-laws during her wedding.

Michelle Keegan, who used to be on Coronation Street, is married to Mark Wright from TOWIE. Recent reports suggest she’s experiencing some difficulties with his family.

Ignoring the surrounding commotion, Michelle took a book and headphones with her as she went to a nearby coffee shop.

She wore a cozy white zip-up sweatshirt with black leggings, crew socks, and neutral-colored sneakers.

For her day out, Michelle carried a brown suede bag and brought a book – Harlan Coben’s The Woods. This followed her recent role in the 2024 Netflix series Fool Me Once, which was based on one of Coben’s novels.

Michelle seemed to be having a difficult phone conversation while at a cafe, as observers noticed during her coffee date.

Her outing came following reports that Carol Wright was the ‘mother in law from hell’.

The Daily Mail published an exclusive report detailing the hurtful comments made by the Wrights at the wedding, which caused distress to the Keegan family. You can find the full story here.

People said Carol, Mark’s mother and Michelle’s mother-in-law, made small, indirect criticisms towards Michelle. But Carol has since denied any conflict between them.

Fans were shocked when she made insensitive remarks about women in bikinis during her family podcast, sparking widespread criticism.

A 65-year-old woman recently received strong criticism online after saying thong bikinis and the people who wear them are ‘gross and unattractive.’ She made these comments on her podcast, Wright At Home, which she co-hosts with her daughters, Jess and Natalya.

Jess, a former cast member of The Only Way Is Essex, and her sister, along with their mother, have all apologized after facing criticism for a recent video. The video, which many viewers found offensive and disrespectful, has been taken down from their social media accounts.

However, friends suggested the comments were a subtle jab at Michelle, who runs her own Orfila Bee swimwear line and often posts bikini photos on Instagram.

According to a source, Carol is a classic, difficult mother-in-law. She’s extremely devoted to her sons and very overprotective – the typical ‘boy mom’ who can’t let go.

There’s a quiet tension between Carol and Michelle. Carol tries to subtly criticize Michelle, but Michelle always notices and doesn’t forget it.

However, representatives have denied claims of any conflict, stating that Carol and Michelle have a strong and supportive relationship.

Even after it was taken down, the video appeared on TikTok, and viewers strongly reacted to a conversation where Jess said her husband, Will, dislikes thong bikinis, and Carol stated her husband, Mark Sr., doesn’t find them attractive.

Jess, Natalya, and Carol started their show, Wright At Home, last November. While the show itself has slowly been gaining viewers, a clip featuring a bikini sparked a huge conversation on TikTok, even after the creators took it down from their Instagram page.

The conversation started with Jess expressing her dislike for thong swimwear on the beach. She said she found it unacceptable to see people wearing them.

Natalya also pointed out that while some girls choose to wear revealing clothing, it’s even better to be prepared and cover up with a sarong if you’re going to be bending over or relaxing in public.

Joining the conversation, Carol said: ‘I really do think this is not sexy for men to look at.’

The grandmother then shared a story about a vacation she and her husband took, recounting how he commented on the appearances of three women with different body types.

She recounted that she and her father were walking along the boardwalk when they passed three girls ahead of them. She described the girls as having revealing clothing, and said her father glanced at them and commented that it wasn’t attractive.

Okay, so there’s been a lot of buzz online lately about some older photos of Jess. Basically, people are sharing pictures of her from years ago where she’s wearing very minimal bikinis – and honestly, they’re quite revealing. The swimwear is pretty small, so a lot of skin is showing, and that’s what’s getting everyone talking. It’s a reminder that photos from the past can resurface, and sometimes they don’t align with how someone presents themselves now.

People criticizing her pointed out that Jess was previously seen wearing similar bikinis on the TV show ‘Towie’, particularly during pool parties.

That’s classic hypocrisy – they criticize others for things they do themselves. It’s a clear case of double standards, honestly.
