Michelle and Mark made their pal feel really special
MICHELLE Keegan and Mark Wright could win the prize for being the best pals ever after they went all out to surprise their friend.
The glamorous couple enjoyed a gorgeous sunshine break to the UAE last week and it was all to surprise one of Michelle's oldest pals.
Writing in her blog for , Michelle revealed they flew to Oman to catch up with one of her school friends who recently got engaged.
She wrote: "Mark and I have been over in Oman and Dubai, having some much needed rest and relaxation, catching up with friends and taking full advantage of the glorious weather in the UAE.
"One of my old school friends – Hayley, lives out there as a primary school teacher.
"Hayley is engaged to a lovely guy called Dan and they are due to tie the knot in March 2017 (hurray!).
"I see her when she visits England, and we have met up in Dubai a few times over the years, but this has been the first time I have visited her.
She continued: "I have been meaning to go and see her for yonks, but haven’t been able to get over, but I knew this time of year wouldn’t be as busy for me, so I seized the opportunity and booked flights.
"Instead of doing what most people do and calling ahead and making plans, I decided to surprise her!
"Dan was in on the surprise, and arranged everything.
"So little did Hayley know that while she was making a brew in her apartment in Oman, I was going through passport control with Mark.
"Dan said to Hayley he was nipping out – he went to pick Mark and I up.
"We got to hers, Dan walked in the door, and we walked in after him.

"I had a bunch of flowers, and she was sat on the couch, said hello to him, and just looked at me and didn’t say anything for a few seconds, she was in total shock.
"I don’t think her brain could process why I was just stood there in her living room! Then she just screamed … a lot ha ha."
The girls spent the week catching up and enjoying the sun, with Michelle sending pulses racing in this sexy crochet bikini.
She said: "I kind of wanted to pay her back for surprising me when she flew home from Oman for a weekend – to give me a massive shock at my Corrie leaving party when she appeared from behind a mask of my face at the end of the speeches.
"So after the initial shock subsided, We had THE BEST few days together!
"Dan arranged for us all to go quad biking and jeep driving in the desert one day, and we enjoyed a night on one of Dan’s friends yachts which was amazing, even better was that we ordered a massive Nandos meal to eat on the boat ha!
"We also went out on a boat another day and enjoyed snorkelling. The water is so clear and the scenery is really something. We saw turtles and loads of different fish as we swam around in the sea."
After their dew days in Oman, Michelle and Mark went to Dubai where they had a romantic few days together.
She revealed: "We stayed in a super luxurious hotel and had such a memorable and relaxed week together."

While she rounded off scenes for the drama, where she plays England footballer Bobby's wife, Mark has been flitting back and fourth on DJing gigs.
She wrote in her blog for Hello! Online: “I am also looking forward to a bit of down time where I can catch up with myself, spend time with Mark and our families, have some lazy days walking the dogs, do some Autumn clothes shopping, visit friends, and do some comfort food cooking at home. Hurray!”
