'They now see Michelle as a rising star in the Netflix firmament, and will be hoping she can attract the same viewing figures for her future projects.'

Following the success, it has now been reported that the streaming platform is keen to secure Michelle for a number of other projects.

The offer could help the former Coronation Street star crack America, and also bag a massive paycheck. 

An insider said: 'She’s proved you don’t have to be the stereotypical plum-voiced leading lady to appeal to an international audience.

'Michelle offers something different, but with all the charm, glamour and sex appeal that makes her one of Britain’s most exciting acting exports. America is seen as a market where they believe she could make the greatest impact.'

The insider added: 'With so many rival streamers eyeing Michelle up now, it’s a no-brainer for Netflix to sign her. But they’re likely to have to offer her a six-figure sum to keep her for multiple projects.'

It comes after MailOnline revealed last week that Michelle has become the talk of Hollywood after catching the eye of movie bigwigs in Fool Me Once.

She's been inundated with movie scripts and proposals for potential new roles as film chiefs fight it out to make Michelle the latest Brit actress to conquer the big screen.

A source said: 'The response to Fool Me Once has been overwhelming. The phone calls and offers have been coming in from Hollywood film executives, it's different to anything Michelle has experienced before.

'Netflix is a global platform and the show has given her the opportunity to shine. Her career has already been a success but now her star is rising, everyone can feel that this is the beginning of something special.

'Michelle feels lucky that she's always played likeable characters but now she's hoping to take it up a notch by landing a film role.

'She aspires to play a dark character in a hard-hitting thriller, which will be a challenge that she's completely ready for.'

Michelle shot to fame on Corrie as feisty Tina McIntyre back in 2008, starring on the soap for six years and in almost 900 episodes.

She went on to win main roles in BBC TV dramas Our Girl and Ten Pound Poms, plus Sky comedy Brassic.
