She has also appeared as a panelist on Loose Women, along with presenting Scottish TV show The Hour alongside Tam Cowan.
With a one-woman show at the Edinburgh Festival and her own BBC Radio Scotland show, there’s little she hasn’t done.
Since then, she has gone on to welcome two children with her husband Jeff Nimmo – sons Nicholas and Harry.
Welcoming her son Nicholas in February this year, Michelle wrote on social media: "Goodbye January! Although I don't know how any other month this year could top you as you're the month we welcomed the newest addition to our family.
"Please say hello to Nicholas Peter Nimmo."
She added: "You are so perfect in every way and we're just so madly in love with you. Thank you for completing our family and our world. Love Mummy, daddy and Harry."
