Michelle Keegan narrowly avoids vicious nightclub brawl as two bouncers restrain violent man inches away from her
Star was letting her hair down on a night out when a scrap broke out right next to her
MICHELLE Keegan may be used to a battlefield thanks to her time filming Our Girl in South Africa, but the star was left narrowly avoiding a bust-up after a night out with pals in London.
The 29-year-old actress was leaving 100 Wardour Club in London on Saturday night when the scrap broke out just behind her in the doorway.
Michelle clearly looked scared as she darted down the stairs and bolted before the argument got anymore violent - with the man causing the commotion having to be restrained and pinned by the two doorman in order to calm him down.
It is not known if the man was trying to get to Michelle, or if he was connected to her and her party during the night but a source at the scene told The Sun Online: "It looked like he was trying something and security was stopping him from either talking or getting a picture."

After she got out of the way of the brawl, Michelle's friends kept her close as they fled, blocking those who were trying to get to her.
The Sun Online has contacted 100 Wardour and Michelle's representatives for comment.
Michelle has recently returned to our screens in BBC show Our Girl, and has been heaped with praise for her performance as Lance Corporal Georgie Lane - who is sent into the depths of war as a medic.
Noone has been more supportive in her latest show than hubby Mark Wright, who after last weeks episode has said she "astounds him more every day".
It is now rumoured that following her success, she could be planning to make the move to Hollywood to make it in America.
TV stunt co-ordinator Paul Piertese, who worked with Michelle on Our Girl and has worked on shows such as Netflix smash-hit Daredevil, is championing her move and has stated he thinks she has more potential then Oscar-winning actress Charlize Theron.
He confessed: "I did The Last Face with Charlize Theron and I don’t rate her the same way I rate Michelle Keegan.
“I think Charlize was very lucky, in the right place at the right time, and the same thing will apply to Michelle. If she gets the right part she’s going all the way.”
