It won't be long until the worlds of Coronation Street and TOWIE collide for good, when Michelle Keegan and Mark Wright finally tie the knot.
And Mark's sister Jess is clearly super-excited about becoming Michelle's sister-in-law, as she shared a picture of the two of them together on her Instagram page to mark the upcoming nuptials.
The two brunettes look incredibly glamorous in the photo, taken from the former Corrie star's recent hen party in Dubai for Hello magazine, with Jess clearly still feeling the holiday vibes as she also shared a sexy swimsuit selfie once back home.
TOWIE star Jess captioned her pic with her future sister-in-law: 'Not long now until we're family @michkeegan best time in Dubai with the girls.'
Indeed, the 29-year-old reality star was one of the 30-strong group of ladies who flew out to the idyllic destination at the end of April so that Michelle, 27, could have one last celebration as a 'single' gal.
While the hen do came to a few days ago, Jess was still in a sunny mood on Tuesday as she showed off her amazing beach body in a swimsuit selfie.
Captioning the Instagram snap 'Holiday vibes!' Jessica displayed her toned and tanned curves in the swimsuit which criss-crossed across her body.
Jess is Mark's older sister, and she and Michelle have forged a close relationship over the past few years: the Essex beauty is even going to act as bridesmaid on the day.
A year ago when planning for the wedding kicked off, Jess revealed a note from Michelle asking her to be her bridesmaid.
Jess uploaded a snap of an adorable note which read: 'Just a little note to say Jessica will you be my bridesmaid on my wedding day?', to which she replied that she would be 'honoured'.
They've spent much time together since Michelle and Mark - who headed off to Las Vegas on Wednesday with a large group of mates for a THIRD stag do - became engaged in 2013, often heading for nights out with each other and bonding over various things.
And it seems they certainly had a very fun time at the hen party for Mark's future wife, as the star herself admitted it left her with a 'three-day hangover'.
Speaking to the hosts on Tuesday's episode of Loose Women, the actress heaped praise on her special hen 'do, which took place just over a week ago in Dubai.
'There were thirty girls that went. It was great. The Essex girls and the Manchester girls came together so it was brilliant,' she said.
'The Essex girls met us in Manchester as a surprise and they flew out with us as well, which was really nice.'
She added, when asked if she had yet recovered from the shenanigans: 'Just about. I had a three-day hangover. It's allowed though I suppose.'
The TV star was joined by her mum Jackie Thornton, former Corrie co-star Brooke Vincent, Mark's sister Jessica and his mum Carol, among others for a few days at the elegant Grosvenor House Dubai resort.
The beauty - who was recently named FHM's Sexiest Woman in the World - looked gorgeous as she appeared on the daytime TV show.
Her brunette tresses were as immaculate as ever, elegantly curled into a loose, long style and her skin was glowing, proving she was well and truly over her supposed extended hangover.
Her trim frame, which she has been working hard on in the run-up to her nuptials with the ex-TOWIE hunk, was attired in a sleeveless khaki blouse and a pair of skintight indigo jeans.
And, as ever, the glam star added inches to her height with towering heels.
While on the show, she went into even more detail about her wedding with Mark, set to take place later this month.
The actress explained that the two of them are still currently working on the table plans for the reception.
'Yes, we are doing the table plan at the minute,' she replied when asked. 'I had to go to bed last night, I thought "right, I can't take it, I've got to go to bed".'
And when questioned about if she's annoyed about her husband-to-be getting involved she replied: 'No, I'm not getting the hump, I'm thinking "thank you very much". I'm the most disorganised person you'll ever meet, where Mark is the opposite, so it's balancing quite well.
'I am thinking "thank god he's getting involved as I need help". It's working really well. There haven't been any arguments yet, well apart from the table plan today.'
It's not going to be a small wedding for Mark and Michelle, either, as she also divulged that she has 200 people attending on the day.
'That's our family and our close friends. That's how big are families are together,' Michelle explained.
And asked about Mark's weight loss, she said: 'It's from Strictly isn't it. He's been going to the gym a lot. He's going to Vegas isn't he so that's why, never mind the wedding!'
After winning such a prestigious title for FHM, the Ordinary Lies actress also confessed how she found out about her flattering coup.
'I was coming back from my hen and I got the phone call when we landed and I actually thought I was still drunk. I was like "no it's not, no it's not". I couldn't believe it, I was well-chuffed. My mum's phone bill must have been through the roof.'
But she hastened to add this esteemed title hasn't put any pressure on her in terms of her appearance.
'People are always going to say "no she's not, she doesn't look good there". No it doesn't really. I take it with a pinch of salt.'
In-between planning her wedding to Mark - with whom she has been in a romance since 2012 - she has somehow managed to find time for work, too.
'I've just finished filming a film which was up north and there is something in the pipeline for the end of the year but obviously I'm not allowed to say. I would love to do anything that challenges me, even if it's a really gritty drama,' Michelle explained happily about her glowing career.
And asked whether she regretted leaving Coronation Street, she said: 'No I haven't regretted it once, not at all, not at all. I do miss everyone at Coronation Street and I do keep in touch with everyone.
'It was just the right time for me to move on definitely.'
Now that Michelle has enjoyed her hen do in Dubai - where she and met fell in love all those years ago - it's now his turn to let his proverbial hair down.
The TV star headed off to Las Vegas on Wednesday for a third and final stag do.
It will be his third celebration after enjoying a raucous affair with 30 friends and family at the Essex branch of Faces and a quieter trip to Torrevieja, in south-eastern Spain, last week.
Earlier this week, in an interview with Hello! magazine, Michelle revealed she took her hen party to the exact spot in Dubai where Mark proposed back in September 2013.
She told the publication: ‘I did go back to the exact same spot on the beach with some of the girls. I did a re-run of what happened and I showed them where Mark was when he proposed to me. It was nice for them to see it.’
