Michelle's dog has a lucky escape and will no doubt be back to being as pampered as ever but no flapjack next time.
Grapes and raisins are toxic to dogs and can lead to acute kidney failure or even death.
Michelle, who is currently filming the third series of Brassic in Lancashire, returned to her Coronation Street roots earlier this week when she paid a visit to the Manchester cobbles while the cast was filming some Christmas specials.
Michelle quit the soap six years ago when her character Tina McIntyre was killed off, but she was delighted to be back for a brief visit.
