Mark Wright has given fans a glimpse inside his new Spanish apartment which is set to become a heavenly abroad base for him and his wife Michelle Keegan. The new abode in Mallorca comes after the couple created their dream home from scratch in Essex
Former The Only Way Is Essex star Mark and ex-Coronation Street actress Michelle took fans along with them on the journey of creating their dream home via their own home-based Instagram account, Wrighty Home. And the loved-up pair finally moved into their huge abode, said to be worth £3.5m, in September last year.
But now, Mark has his sights set on the apartment in Spain and last month he revealed how he drove 30 hours to Mallorca to fix up his "nightmare" holiday home after builders did a bodge job. The presenter and a team of builders made the journey after discovering that his hired workers had "created problems".

He explained how he bought the flat a year ago before he enlisted some builders on the job to help get the property how he wanted it. But Mark, 36, said that he wasn't happy with their work and decided to head over and sort the job out himself.
"I bought an apartment just over a year ago, and left it in the hands of some builders that I didn't know, it wasn't that I wasn't happy with the look," he told Jamie Theakston and Amanda Holden at the time.
"There was just lots of problems that were created, they tried to cut corners. So then I spoke to another company and the price wasn't matching up with what I had in mind, and I just thought, DIY, got to sort it myself." Speaking on Heart Breakfast over the phone, he said: "I left two days ago. It's a long old drive. What makes it longer is the fact that it's an island. "
However, things now appear to be coming along nicely as Mark took to his Instagram Story to share a glimpse at the progress. In one clip Mark is heard saying: "The guys from Ascale have just arrived, my worktops and feature walls .... look at that! Beautiful scenes."
Inside, a marble feature has been created in the living room which Mark previously said is a 'media wall' where the TV will hang. In his new video, the incomplete feature could be seen in all its glory before the former reality star panned the camera to show the balcony and views of the delightful blue sea.
There was also a glimpse of a black, heavy duty basin for the master bathroom and the outline of a shower cubical could be seen as things start to come together.
