Mark Wright is determined to fly out to South Africa "as much as" he can when his wife Michelle Keegan films ‘Our Girl’.
The ‘Take Me Out: The Gossip’ presenter is not looking forward to spending six months away from his spouse when she jets off in a few weeks to shoot her lead role in the army drama, but he’s keen to visit her as often as possible.
Speaking exclusively to BANG Showbiz, he explained: "She’s going away to South Africa. I’m going to miss her but I’m going to go out there as much as I can. I’m going to miss her, I really am but I’m excited for her."
And, when he’s not hopping on a plane to see his wife, whom he married last year following three years of dating, Mark will be busy shooting the ‘Take Me Out’ spin-off with Laura Jackson.
He said: "We’ve got four more episodes coming up on ‘Take Me Out: The Gossip’, which are explosive. I don’t think I’d ever go back to ‘The Only Way is Essex’ [the show that made him famous] – I just want to stick to presenting now."
Meanwhile, although Mark is devastated to part with Michelle for almost half a year for her new acting gig, the brunette beauty can’t wait to get stuck into her role of Georgia Lane.
She said: "I’m so excited about it; I can’t wait to get over there and start filming. I’ve known about it for so long."
