Mark Wright has found his fans jumping to his defence again after he was flooded with the same message about his and his wife Michelle Keegan's decision to start a family. The former The Only Way is Essex star posted some adorable images on Instagram after spending some time with two of his nephews.
Mark, 36, could be seen holding on to baby Dustin who returned home early last month after spending weeks in hospital. The second son of Mark's brother Josh and sister-in-law Hollie was born prematurely at 28 weeks. Hollie told fans on Instagram following their son's arrival that their newborn had “caught us by surprise”. She wrote, “At 28 weeks, 12 weeks early our beautiful baby boy was born on 11.2.23 at 6.08am weighing 2.4lbs.
“Caught us by surprise for sure but we can’t thank @princessalexandranhs midwives, nurses, doctors and everyone associated enough for making what has been such a difficult time that little bit easier, you have been truly amazing."

"And over the Easter weekend, on April 9, Hollie and Josh confirmed their son's name and told fans he was now home with his older brother, Joshua James Angelo Wright. "We Welcome home our other little Easter bunny," the couple wrote on social media alongside a string of photos of their baby boy who still appeared to be being fed through a tube.
They added: "….Dustin Joshua Rory Wright. He’s FINALLY coming home 8 weeks later, our little Dusty." And Mark is clearly besotted by his new nephew and his older brother who was born in February 2022.
"Uncle Mark Mondays," he captioned the photo of him beaming while holding onto almost three-month-old Dustin which was accompanied by a video of a giggling one-year-old Joshua. "Lovely seeing this 2 yesterday. Love em to bits. Dustin & Joshua," Mark added.
And as many fans were quick to coo over the adorable images, others found themselves asking Mark when he and Michelle, who will have been married eight years this month, would be starting their own family. One said: "Mark you need too become a dad it suits you." Another commented: "Absolutley gorgeous. You need one of your own mark and Michelle."
It left some unimpressed and they shared their thoughts in the comments. @vintagelou82 wrote: "Can the lad not share his nephews anymore? It’s not your business about his family. Stop asking."
@ss_as_sa replied: "All these comments stating that Mark & Michelle need to start having a family.....don't you people think? Nobody knows what is happening with them in their personal lives and comments like these could be so hurtful to them." @justyl1987 added: "People really need to think before they type. It's absolutely nobody else's business whether they want a family or not. Pure and utter ignorance."
And it's not the first time comments have been made. Fans also jumped in to support radio and TV presenter Mark and actress Michelle when they finally got their own cuddles with their baby nephew as they met him for the first time. Mark took to Instagram with a string of snaps, starting with one of the pair with Dustin.
"We finally met our little premature warrior Dustin," he typed. "He’s perfect and was so worth the wait. Little Josh seems so big now when holding them together. Love our little nephews to pieces," he added alongside adorable pictures of himself with both Dustin and Joshua.
