Loves of My Life: Michelle Keegan

The best interviews are often the most personal. In Loves of My Life, we get to know the person behind their craft, asking them the important questions we’re desperate to know the answers to, like their favourite restaurants and date-night spots, what’s in their Saved folder on Instagram, the piece of jewellery they’re most attached to and what’s lurking at the bottom of their handbag. In short, the little loves of their life.

Actress Michelle Keegan may be best known for her roles as often tough and resilient heroines, but we wanted to know the woman behind the character. Fresh off the back of her latest collection with Very, we asked the mother and mogul all about what makes her tick, her fashion inspiration, and who (and what) she holds the closest to her heart.

What’s your #1 restaurant to visit in the whole world? And what do you order?

It would be a place called Kloof Street House in Cape Town. When I worked in South Africa, it was my favourite go-to place. They do the best salted caramel cheesecake that I’ve ever, ever had, and I’ve tried lots of cheesecake since, but nothing compares. It’s unreal. Plus, it’s a really cosy setting. It’s just really different. But there’s a great atmosphere and the setting is beautiful.
