Biography:
Mark Wright, one of the main personalities on ITV2’s living soap The Only Way Is Essex, was one of our guilty pleasures in 2010. Not because we should feel guilty for fancying the pants off him, but because he was teasing us into turning over to ITV2 so often. And just look at him *sigh*, there’s no wonder why we did – he’s the kind of guy we’d just love to be knocking on our door to come round and fix the washing machine…
The 23-year-old club night promoter is, like the rest of the cast, filmed out and about the streets of Brentwood, Essex, though he’s originally from just down the road in Abridge.
Mark Wright has been in something of an on/off relationship with his The Only Way Is Essex co-star, 24-year-old Lauren Goodger, for nine years. He also has a bit of history with glamour girls Sam Faiers, who we saw him bump into at the gym… as he worked on his finely honed physique. Which makes him in a kind of on/off relationship with both Lauren Goodger and Sam Faiers, we think.
Sadly, he’s also not exactly unaware of his attractiveness. Mark has described himself as ‘Mr Essex’, a worthy title we’d say and he’s also been quoted as bragging that, “When you think of Essex good looks, tanned people, I can’t think of anyone who’s got a better life than me.”
If that hasn’t put you off, then you may also be interested to hear that Mark Wright is best friend with… Jack Tweed. Ouch.
Still there? Thought you might be. Like us, it’s not going to stop you tuning in to see him again, is it? It just might put you off a trip to his local, the Sugar Hut nightclub.
