THERE are few crumbs of comfort for Michelle Keegan fans looking for diet tips — she confesses to having custard creams for breakfast.

And, as if to rub salt in the wounds, the slender actress tucks into chip butties too.

The former Coronation Street and Our Girl actress says she cannot stop thinking about food.

Stockport-born Michelle, 34, believes it’s “a northern thing”.

She said: “I am a massive, massive foodie. Food for me is life. From the moment I wake up to the time I go to bed, I’m thinking about my food. The first thought for me when I wake up? Cup of tea. Biscuits.

“For us northerners, it’s tea and biscuits in the morning — you have like a rich tea or a custard cream. It’s fantastic. It wakes my tastebuds up. Then I go for the savoury option. Always start with the sweet, then we go to the savoury.”

Michelle — who has launched a fitness clothing brand with hunky husband Mark Wright, 34 — admits she breaks all the golden dieting rules.

Speaking on the Off Menu podcast, she said: “I’m quite bad at snacking quite late at night, so I am actually quite full from the night before, if I’m being honest. A lot of the time that’s something quite salty like crisps or a piece of ham with toast on top.”

When it comes to chip sandwiches, Michelle is picky.

She said: “I would like really good chippy chips, obviously — with lots and lots of salt and vinegar.

“And then I want a portion of curry sauce, portion of gravy, and some mayonnaise. I want Warburtons thick slice bread, thick with Lurpak.”
