Mark Wright jets to Australia to reunite with wife Michelle Keegan after eight weeks apart

Mark Wright has flown across the globe to reunite with his wife Michelle Keegan after they have been eight weeks apart.

The 35-year-old actress has been in Australia while she films BBC drama Ten Pound Poms, with hubby Mark staying in the UK to oversee the continued construction of their Essex mega mansion.

Mark, 35, has shared with his social media followers that he has touched down in Oz and has wasted no time in getting acquainted with Sydney and what it has to offer.

Despite that he may have been jet lagged by the long haul flight, Mark still found the energy for a work out and then then some time on the beach as he enjoyed the late sunshine.

Meanwhile, Michelle has been playing a nurse in the BBC show which follows a group of Brits seeking a new adventure in Australia, as they turn their back on Britain in 1965.

Michelle's character is keen to rewrite her past, as she touches down without her fiance and hopes of starting afresh.

She has been in Australia since May, so will be pleased that Mark is now with her again.

The show follows a group of Brits as they abandon post-war Britain in 1965 and head on an adventure to Australia.

It is not the first time that the pair have been forced apart by their schedules not aligning.

When Michelle starred in Our Girl, she had to relocate to South Africa for filming, while Mark has spent time away from his wife while he worked on Extra in Los Angeles.

He was no doubt hoping that the miles between them would shorten as he turned down the chance to host a dating show in the United States so that he could spend more time with Michelle.

Mark reasoned at the time: “I would never be able to live away again. I would certainly go back there for a period of time to do a job, but not full time. I don’t like missing my friends and family.”
