Mark Wright hits back at remarks about his marriage

He said: “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.”

Mark’s desire to change

In a recent episode of A Wright Family Holiday, Mark engaged in an emotional conversation with his footballer brother Josh, 33, and father Big Mark, 66.

The former The Only Way Is Essex star opened up about his battle between working and spending time with loved ones.

He said: “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 when he asked his father: “Have I let you down as a son?”

However, Big Mark assured his son that he had not let anyone down, and Josh added that Mark had made everyone proud.
