My guess is that the initial attraction to Stuart was very powerful plus any persona taken on has a tendency to intensify and take on a life of its own (remember what happened with Kitten ). Michelle did talk about wanting a career as a glamour model. These factors may have contributed to Michelle's behaviour

The spell in the bedsit managed to serve as a system reset. It re-emphasised the attraction to Stuart Element and somehow the wish to be a glamour model seems to have subsided.

As for up here in Newcastle, they have a special panel in the Evening Chronicle dedicated to her.
