Brassic season six will be debuting on Thursday, September 26, at 10pm on with actress Keegan reprising her role as Erin.
She has been the love interest of gang leader Vinnie (played by Joseph Gilgun) from the very beginning so could this sixth outing finally see them end up together?
Growing up in Greater Manchester with her younger brother Andrew, the star went to the Manchester School Of Acting where fellow alumni Suranne Jones also studied.
But before she would be welcomed onto the cobbles, Keegan had a few normal jobs, including working at Selfridges in the Trafford Centre on a make-up counter, as well as a check-in agent at Manchester Airport.

She made her debut on the ITV soap the following year when she had a chance encounter with David Platt (Jack P Shepherd) at Rosamund Street Medical Centre.
Keegan remained in the soap until 2014 when her character Tina wa killed off by Rob Donovan (Marc Baylis) when she threatened to expose his dodgy dealings.
During her stint on , Keegan won a number of British Soap Awards, including for Best Actress and Sexiest Female.
Since her exit, the actress has been in ’s Ordinary Lies, played Corporal Georgie Lane in Our Girl, Ten Pound Poms, ’s Fool Me Once and, of course, Brassic.
In regards to her life away from the cameras, Keegan is happily married to former The Only Way Is Essex star Mark Wright.

Prior to dating Wright, Keegan had another high profile relationship with The Wanted star Max George.
They got engaged in 2011 but their romance came to an end the following year, with the singer now dating star Maisie Smith.
Keegan and Wright bought their “forever home” back in 2019, making huge renovations to the property before finally moving in 2022.
Their luxurious £3.5 million Essex mansion features an outdoor swimming pool, gym, sauna and a balcony.
