Michelle Keegan doesn't mind long-distance love

Actress Michelle Keegan has admitted she doesn't mind being away from her husband Mark Wright while she carries out work commitments.

The couple have been married for less than a year but have been spending long periods apart because of their work commitments, but the 28-year-old star -- who is filming military drama "Our Girl" in South Africa -- says she and her spouse are determined to make things "work", reports femalefirst.co.uk.

"It's not that bad being away for so long. When Mark was filming recently, he was away for three weeks at a time, then came back for five days and was off again for three weeks. I think it just comes with the job. As long as we're happy that's all that matters. We'll make it work," Keegan told Closer magazine.

The former "Coronation Street" star doesn't mind getting recognised when she's out and about but she hates being treated "differently" because of her fame.

"I don't mind when people stare or do a double take because I do it too, as long as people are polite. The only thing I don't like about being famous is when people start to treat you differently. People presume because you're in the public eye, you change," she added.
