Former Coronation Street actress Michelle Keegan expressed outrage yesterday after discovering vandals had deliberately damaged her luxury Range Rover, worth approximately £100,000.
The 38-year-old took to Instagram on Wednesday to reveal extensive scratches along her vehicle's paintwork.
In footage shared with her 7.5 million followers, the Fool Me Once and Brassic star traced a lengthy mark running across her car whilst condemning those responsible.
"Hope the person who did this felt better bout themselves afterwards [thumbs-up emoji], scruffs," she wrote alongside the video. (sic)

|In another clip, Keegan sat inside her vehicle, where she attempted to maintain composure despite her anger.
"Smiling on the outside, screaming on the inside, working out how not to let it ruin my day," she shared with followers.
The actress appeared visibly frustrated whilst questioning the vandal's motivations, adding "Why though??" to her Instagram story.
She accompanied the post with Annie Lennox's song "Why" to emphasise her bewilderment at the vandalism.

The damage appeared to extend along the entire length of the vehicle, which Ms Keegan has previously been photographed driving around Cheshire.
This latest incident follows a frightening experience earlier this year when Ms Keegan and her husband Mark Wright faced an attempted burglary at their £3.5 million Essex residence.
In February, four masked intruders dressed entirely in black broke into the property whilst the couple remained inside.
The 38-year-old television presenter heard glass shattering and shouted, causing the would-be thieves to abandon their plans and escape without taking anything.

An insider claimed the couple felt "very shaken up" following the break-in, with Mr Wright prioritising his wife and child's safety throughout the ordeal. Police described the perpetrators as professionals seeking a substantial haul.
The couple's vehicles have been targeted before, with thieves stealing their £65,000 Range Rover Sport directly from their driveway in December 2020.
Mr Wright alerted his social media followers about the theft, which occurred whilst they were at home.

The former Towie personality posted on Twitter at the time requesting assistance in locating the black Range Rover Sport with registration ET68LVO, describing the theft as "unbelievable".
Within an hour, the vehicle was successfully recovered approximately 20 minutes from their property.
This also isn't the first time Ms Keegan has expressed her disdain for vandals, specifically, either. Earlier this year, she condemned the plastering of graffiti on the London Underground.
Sharing a video inside the carriage of a London Underground train, Ms Keegan didn't pull her punches as she once again described those responsible as "absolute scruffs".
She rounded off her statement with an angry-faced emoji alongside the words: "Makes me cringe."
In much happier news for Ms Keegan and Mr Wright of late, the pair welcomed their first child in March, a baby girl named Palma.
