Another happy snap saw her in a gold sequined dress for what appeared to be party scenes, though her shocked expression teased there's a surprise in store.

Other stills included first looks at the remaining episode, with Michelle rocking her character's iconic high bun and fringe. 

Some of the former Coronation Street star's scenes were shot while she was still pregnant, with her outfits revealing the lengths bosses went to in order to hide her growing bump.

Michelle discreetly hid her bump behind a car during the shoot, while another scene saw her wearing a chunky blue jumper as she positioned herself next to a freestanding sign.

Brassic focuses on petty criminal Vinny (played by co-creator Joe Gilgun) and his gang of thieves attempting to get by in the fictional northern town. 

It also stars Ryan Sampson, Aaron Heffernan, Damien Molony, Steve Evets, Tom Hanson and Bronagh Gallagher.

Its sixth series ended on a jaw-dropping, and literal, cliffhanger, with the entire Hawley gang's lives in jeopardy as their bus hung precarious over a ravine. 

In January it was confirmed that the upcoming seventh series would be the last, with co-creator and writer Danny Brocklehurst confirming its cancellation in a statement.

He told fans: 'When Joe Gilgun and I sat down to create Brassic, we couldn't have imagined, in our wildest dreams, that we would do seven series and gather such a loyal and loving fan base.

'It's been a complete joy to create this eccentric world, but all good things must come to an end, and we want to stop while we are still riding high.

'Maybe they can finally give us that BAFTA.'

After shooting her final scenes, Michelle shared an emotional tribute to her character on social media, penning: 'Goodbye Erin…

'So finally the Brassic journey has come to an end (feels so strange saying that) and what an unbelievable seven years it’s been. I feel so privileged to have been a small part of such a mighty show. 

'From the moment I read the 1st script I knew this job was going to be special & it definitely was.

'Thank you to everyone who worked on the show over the years for the laughs, friendship and more importantly the memories… What a magical seven years we had.'
