The Only Way is Essex's Mark Wright has discussed his wife's reaction to him filming away so much.

He is married to former Coronation Street and Our Girl actress Michelle Keegan, having tied the knot eight years ago.

While promoting his forthcoming docuseries A Wright Family Holiday, which sees Mark, brother Josh and dad Big Mark going on a UK road trip to create cherished new memories, the Soccer Aid star insisted that his wife supports his work.

"Michelle's supportive. She knows why I was doing it," he told OK!. "Not only is it work, but at the same time, it's spending time with my dad and my brother and we're both so close to our families, so we both know how important it is to get that time with your loved ones. Of course I missed her, I missed her terribly."

According to Wright, who had a tumour removed from his armpit a couple of years ago, Keegan couldn't get enough of A Wright Family Holiday upon watching a preview.

"Michelle's watched a few episodes already with her mum, and they absolutely loved them – they were engrossed," he said.

"I thought they were only going to watch one, but they were like: 'Let's watch the next one, the next one'. She had a favourite episode, her mum had a favourite one it's nice to see other people's reactions."

Wright and Keegan have addressed their seemingly separate lives multiple times during the course of their relationship as they have both pursued career opportunities, with Wright previously based in the US for 2 years for his presenting job on entertainment news show Extra.

A Wright Family Holiday premieres Friday, June 8 on BBC One. The Only Way is Essex airs on ITVBe.
