Her post comes after it was reported that she is being eyed up for her first Hollywood film role following the success of the Netflix series Fool Me Once.
The former Coronation Street star could bag the role in the film adaptation of Reese Witherspoon and Harlan Coben’s new novel.
The pair have teamed up to write the new crime thriller Gone Before Goodbye and as Michelle has worked with Harlan before on his Fool Me Once adaption, Reese is reportedly keen to get her back on board.
Speaking at the launch of Reese and Harlan’s new novel at the London Literature Festival last Friday a source revealed: ‘Harlan has been singing Michelle’s praises to Reese and she was keen to meet her.
‘They got on really well and it was clear Reese was really taken with Michelle. The plan is to turn the book into a film and Michelle is their first choice to take on the role of the lead character, Maggie McCabe.’
Maggie is a combat surgeon, a role Michelle has experience in after she played army medic Georgie Lane in the BBC series Our Girl.
The source told The Sun: ‘It’s early days but Harlan and Reese think Michelle is tailor-made for this role and would love her to come on board when the time is right.’
The Daily Mail contacted Michelle and Reese’s representatives for comment.

Taking to Instagram Michelle also shared her love for the Hollywood actress as she shared a sweet snap with both Reese and Harlan at the time.
She penned: ‘When two genuises collide.. ‘Gone Before Goodbye’ is made! (I can confirm Reese Witherspoon is everything you’d imagined her to be, what a woman)’.
Reese then replied: ‘So wonderful to meet you .. finally!’
Michelle starred as Maya Stern in Fool Me Once, alongside Joanna Lumley in the series adaptation of Harlan’s novel, which quickly shot to the top of Netflix charts worldwide.
Harlan has previously gushed over the star’s talent and has previously said he would be keen to work with Michelle again.
Her character’s demise in Fool Me Once left Harlan ‘kicking himself’ and seeking a plot, no matter how far-fetched, that could see her reprise her role in the second instalment.
A source close to Michelle previously told the Daily Mail: ‘Michelle and Harlan really bonded during the Fool Me Once filming and he thinks she’s amazing. He believes Michelle is a big part of the show’s stratospheric success.
It comes as Michelle is reportedly set to hit Hollywood as A-list star Reese Witherspoon is eyeing her up for a lead role in her book adaptation (pictured at Reese’s book launch recently)
‘They were having a real heart to heart at the National Television Awards recently and Harlan was saying that he was absolutely gutted that he killed off her character and that he’d do anything to bring her back from the dead so that they can have a much-longed for sequel.’
Rumours of Hollywood surrounded Michelle after the success of Fool Me Once in 2024, and the star confirmed she would consider re-locating if the perfect role came along.
In an interview with The Guardian she said: ‘I went to America when Mark was out there. Didn’t like it. But let’s see. If a job comes up… I guess?…
‘I’ve never thought beyond what I’m doing right at that moment. And I think that’s how I live now as well. I don’t think in terms of goals. I live in the moment.’
