Former star of The Only Way is Essex Mark Wright has shunned claims that he never sees his wife Michelle Keegan. The 36-year-old presenter and TV personality wed the former Coronation Street actress in 2015 and the couple live in Essex.
The pair are often apart due to work commitments and Michelle recently spent time in Australia filming the BBC drama Ten Pound Poms, which followed a group of Brits as leaving Britain in 1956 to embark on a life-altering adventure Down Under.
But Mark explained that he and Michelle don’t feel the need to post when they are together. “Do you know what, whenever there’s a picture of us together people will say ‘rare picture of Mark and Michelle’ or ‘Mark and Michelle reunite after time apart’. We just don’t tell everyone when we do spend quality time together. I could be in the house with Michelle for two weeks, but no one will know that because I’m not necessarily posting about it. We spend plenty of quality time together and we’ve had plenty of weekends away," he said in an interview with MailOnline.

Mark has recently been on our screens in BBC's A Wright Family Holiday, which saw him join forces with his brother Josh and dad ‘Big Mark’ to embark on a road trip across Britain. During one episode Mark revealed that he finds splitting his time between work and family challenging.
He said in a conversation with his father: “Being away from my family has happened gradually and it’s gotten more and more. I’m not proud of it. I’ve never wanted it to be that way. I can’t say no to work because I’m so in fear of losing it all.”
Mark then broke down upon asking his dad: “Have I let you down as a son?” ‘Big Mark’ assured his son that he had not let anyone down and Josh added that Mark had made everyone proud. Mark and Michelle recently finished renovating their Essex mansion, which they have been documenting on their Instagram account. Read more about that here.
