Michelle told reporters in May 2023: “I absolutely loved filming in Australia. I mean, when I first got there the weather wasn’t great, I’m not going to lie, but as a country I really enjoyed it.

I came on my own which was quite scary.

“In fact, in a way my journey to Australia has parallels with Kate’s. It was my first time too and I didn’t know what to expect. I came on my own which was quite scary, but it’s been such an incredible experience.”

However, former TOWIE cast member Mark did visit Michelle while she was working Down Under.

And he previously told MailOnline how they make being apart work for them.

“If you’re in love and in a happy relationship you will be happy to see each other,” Mark was quoted as saying.

He went on: “You have to learn that you’ve been together for a long time and not seen each other in three weeks so it’s exciting at first but then it goes back to being a 10-year relationship.

“The longer you go, the more pressure there is because the longer it’s been. But I was in LA and had a dinner with Piers Morgan and I told him it was hard. He said: ‘I had this with my wife. We have a three-week rule so don’t let it go past three weeks.'”

Mark added: “It’s tough though with Australia, it’s a lot of flying.”
