On her triumph, she told the Radio Times: 'It's always flattering that people go out of their way to vote for you.
'They've got their own lives but they still think, "Oh, I'll vote for Michelle." I get so chuffed with that.'
And Michelle, who split from The Wanted's Max George earlier this year, has a host of admirers thanks to her good looks.
Strictly Come Dancing winner and Olympic gymnast Louis Smith recently admitted he fancies her, telling Heat magazine: 'She's hot.'
