Pictures from the Halloween filming show the rest of the cast, including Joseph Gilgun who plays Vinnie O'Neil, dressed up in costume but Michelle is nowhere to be seen.

Other cast members were papped in various Halloween themed outfits, as they filmed scenes for the new series.

The star's absence comes after her £3.5 million mansion that she shares with husband Mark Wright was broken into, leaving the actress 'absolutely shaken up'.

It was understood four suspects were inside the £3.5million property for around a minute but left when they heard Mark yelling. Mark stayed with Michelle in their bedroom, ensuring she was safe.

Police were also alerted via the state-of-the-art security system, and arrived at the couple’s Essex mansion within minutes, but by then the gang had fled empty-handed in a getaway car.

Mark and Michelle, both 37, were last night said to be relieved but “very shaken up” by the ordeal.

A source told The Sun: “It was a traumatic experience for both of them but they are relieved that neither of them were injured.

“Mark did the sensible thing and stayed with his wife to make sure she was OK and they waited for police to arrive before leaving the room. It was a horrible thing to go through, particularly for someone who is heavily pregnant.

“They are understandably very shaken up by what happened.”
