Emmerdale fans could root for her return as it won't be the first time the soap star moves away from the village.
Once again, she'll only exit to go on maternity leave.
While her on-screen alter ego has been involved in dramatic storylines alongside her partner Suzy Merton (Martelle Edinborough), Michelle is expecting her second child.
The 46-year-old is due to give birth to a girl in December, 2022, who will be a little sister for her son Teddy, whom she welcomed in October, 2020, with her wife Kate Brooks.

Kate is a producer on Emmerdale and the pair met while on set before tying the knot in 2019.
As mentioned above, Michelle left the soap in the past for the birth of her first child but she returned in 2021.
Viewers saw her confront her former on-screen fiancée, Charity Dingle, who cheated on her with Mackenzie Boyd.
Since then, fans have been hoping for a "Vanity" reunion as Vanessa's relationship with Suzy Merton appears to be on shaky ground.
