Mark Wright thinks his house is haunted.
The former ‘The Only Way is Essex’ star has admitted he refuses to walk around his home at night because he’s convinced a spooky figure has taken a liking to his and his wife Michelle Keegan’s property in Chigwell, Essex, after watching a horror movie.
The 30-year-old hunk told the Daily Star newspaper: "We’ve got really into horror films recently. Michelle loves to watch them more than me.
"I’m the man of the house so if something happens she just goes to sleep and I’m the one lying thinking ‘is that the ghost from that film in this room?’ "
However, the ‘Take Me Out: The Gossip’ host didn’t let his fear of the supernatural stop him from joining five of his old ‘TOWIE’ cast members in an episode of ‘Ghosthunting’.
The group spent the night in the 19th Century Coalhouse Fort in East Tilbury, in Essex, where they visited underground tunnels, a gatehouse, mess hall and aviation museum.
But his fear of ghosts will no doubt ramp up a notch next month when his wife Michelle, 29, jets off to South Africa to shoot the third instalment of the army drama ‘Our Girl’.
The couple are meant to be celebrating their second wedding anniversary but they will be forced to spend the occasion apart as she will be busy shooting the next series.
Mark said recently of the next batch of episodes of the modern war drama: "It’s Nepal, South Africa, I think they’re going to Malaysia. They’re going everywhere for the next few months. It is difficult [to be separated from Michelle] and obviously in drama, the drama that she does, it takes ages to shoot an episode – compared to what we do in entertainment. It’s so much long winded so that’s why she has to be there for so long."
But the couple – who tied the knot in Bury St Edmunds in Suffolk, England in front of their celebrity guests – are trying to spend as much time together before she leaves.
The 29-year-old hunk said: "We live in Essex but work takes us everywhere and when we can get little weekend breaks then we do. Home is our favourite place. We prefer that to date nights any day. Shutting the door, takeaway, pyjamas on, movie, we love it!"
