Michelle – who’s set to tie the knot with Mark in May – has gushed about her fiancé (again!) in a recent magazine interview and explained that this is the first relationship she’s had where jealousy hasn’t played a part.
“I've never had this 100% level of respect before - I've always been competing with the other person in some way,” the actress told Cosmopolitan. “Whereas with Mark there's equality in the relationship.
“It's proper grown up love and that's why we just work. We respect each other and we really love each other.” PIC
Michelle also (possibly) threw some shade at her exboyfriend, Wanted singer Max George, who allegedly cheating on Mich before they eventually split in July 2012.
She said: “[In my first relationships] I was a typical young girl - I wanted attention and there was jealousy. I think that's what you learn from those relationships though, that sometimes if you're behaving like that, you eventually push people away.”
Despite being apart for months when Mich was filming TV show Ordinary Lies up in Manchester, while Mark was down south in Essex, the couple are stronger than ever and 27-year-old Michelle’s not let her hectic schedule get in the way of wedding planning.
“I'm not very good a being organised, but with the wedding I've been pretty good,” she added: “When it's all over I think I'll be really sad. It's such an exciting time!”
We can’t wait to see the pictures!
