Away from our screens, Marcus is a businessman, boxing coach and gym owner. He trained his son Shiloh, who is now a professional boxer under the alias 'Sugar Shy', Liverpool Echo reports.
He founded TM Boxing Gym in 2009 initially to work with "disadvantaged youths from the local community".
Mica is a hairdresser specialising in natural hair and she shares her work on her Instagram page. She also owns her own salon.
The pair have been fan favourites ever since they made their debut on the series in 2018. In a recent interview, Marcus explained how his game plan to get to Mica backfired when she "wasn't interested."
"She was doing this thing called Alpha Course, so I signed up for it, too, but then she tried to set me up with some other girls from the course. She wasn’t interested", he told Heat. Marcus then won Mica over with humour and before long things became romantic when he visited her at home with a bottle of wine for Bible study.
Recalling how things hotted up, Mica said: "He turned up to mine one night to do Bible study with a bottle of wine. We were sitting opposite each other and I’m thinking ‘Footsy? Wine? We’re supposed to be doing Bible study here!’ He told me it was fine because Jesus drank wine."
