Mark Wright ‘misses’ Michelle Keegan


Mark Wright "really misses" Michelle Keegan.

The 27-year-old television personality – who is currently taking part in ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ – has admitted that the couple can’t wait to spend more time together at Christmas.

He said: "About three weeks ago I’d been really missing her and she’d been really missing me.

"I sent her 27 roses and I said on the card, ‘Here’s 27 roses – this is how many days it’s going to be until we’re together’.

"This weekend she has a break, which means we can be together every day until Christmas and a little bit after – I just cannot wait."

‘The Only Way Is Essex’ star has revealed that he and Michelle – who started dating in 2012 – are not worried about the "Strictly Curse", which sees the show’s attached contestants start relationships with their dancing partners.

Mark said: "We’ve never even discussed it. I see why people do because of what’s happened in the past.

"But if you’re in a genuinely happy, strong, beautiful relationship it just doesn’t enter your head. It’s never been a question for us, genuinely.

"We’re a happy couple who trust each other. We don’t think about, ‘Oh, can I trust him?’ or ‘Can’t I trust him?’ She’s just like, ‘Enjoy it, babe – she looks like a great partner’. And that’s it."

Meanwhile, Mark has revealed that his 27-year-old fiancee gives him a lot of support, even when she can’t be at the studio.

He told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "In the week when I did the samba, when my scores went right up and I was third on the leader board, I got a great text from her.

"She was watching at her mum’s house and the message just said: ‘Wow! That was great – Hot, hot hot!’."
