Michelle Keegan has shared her anger and misery, after vandals deliberately scratched the paintwork off the side of her car.
The actress, 38, took to her Instagram Stories on Wednesday to reveal the extent of the damage to her vehicle, as she blasted the culprits for the cruel act.
She filmed a video pointing out the scratch, before panning the camera across to show how far it extended along the entire length of her car.
The Brassic star fumed: ‘Hope the person that did this felt better bout themselves afterwards, scruffs’.
Michelle then shared another video of her sitting inside the car, looking distinctly fed up, as she admitted she was struggling not to let the vandalism ‘ruin my day’.
Still looking effortlessly glamorous in a leather jacket, over a brown crop top and jeans, she wrote: ‘Smiling on the outside, screaming on the inside, working out how not to let it ruin my day. Whhhhhy though?’

While not revealing which car had been keyed, Michelle has previously been snapped driving a black Range Rover SVR, that costs a whopping £100,000.
She and her husband Mark Wright have also been spotted taking a black £80,000 Ranger Rover Sport HSE out for a spin in Cheshire.
It’s not the first bit of bad luck to befall the couple’s vehicles, after their £65,000 Range Rover Sport was previously stolen right out of their own driveway.
Back in December 2020, Mark appealed for help from his followers after the luxury car was snatched while they were at home, but luckily later revealed it had been recovered 20 minutes away.
Sources at the time claimed the couple were convinced thieves had been watching them as they knew exactly when the gates to their Essex home would be open to steal the vehicle.
Mark took to Twitter to blast the ‘unbelievable’ culprit, asking his fans: ‘If Anyone sees a black Range Rover sport in the Chigwell area heading away from Abridge number plate ET68LVO please tweet me.
‘Just this second stolen off my drive whilst we are home. Unbelievable.’
Luckily for the TOWIE star, just an hour after his initial appeal he was able to share some good news with his worried fans and reveal the vehicle had been found.

Announcing the positive turn of events, Mark tweeted: ‘Car has now been found 20mins away.
‘Thank you to @MetaTrakUK @metpoliceuk @EssexPoliceUK for your incredible work. Thank you to all the people who tweeted and showed support. X’
Meanwhile, the damage to her car comes as the second blow for Michelle in just two week, after her show Ten Pound Poms was axed after two series.
The BBC drama followed a group of British citizens who emigrated from post-war Britain to Australia in the 1950s, with Michelle playing nurse Kate Thorne.
It first hit screens in 2023 and drew in a respectable 6.37 million viewers for its first season, but ratings were halved to just 3.15m by the end of series two, which concluded in April.
The second series also saw Michelle’s story end on a tense cliffhanger, with her character Kate determined to reclaim her son Michael from his adoptive parents.
A BBC spokesperson confirmed the cancellation to Daily Mail, saying: ‘It’s been a joy to bring the story of the Ten Pound Poms to life for BBC viewers and we are really grateful to Danny Brocklehurst, Eleven and all the cast and crew who have worked on the series.’

Michelle had previously shared interest in returning for a third series, but admitted at the time that since she’d recently given birth to her baby daughter Palma, there may be a delay before she was available for filming.
The show, which was filmed in Australia, previously required the star to relocate Down Under for several months for production.
She said: ‘I love this show and there’s definitely more of Kate’s story to be explored. But – for very obvious reasons in my case there may be a delay before I would be available to do it.’
Fans had previously complained they’d ‘given up’ on series two of the drama, complaining that due to a two-year gap between series, they’d forgotten much of how the first run ended.
