Mark Wright to return to TOWIE for 10-year special?

Mark Wright looks set to return to ‘The Only Way is Essex’ for a 10-year reunion special.
That’s according to Billie Faiers’ husband Greg Shepherd, who has fuelled speculation the former ‘Extra’ reporter – who is one of the original cast members – could be back on the ITVBe show for the milestone episode.
Greg said: "I’ve heard Mark Wright is doing it – I can’t envisage him going from interviewing Elton John to filming ‘TOWIE’, but who knows."
When she was also quizzed about who might appear in the programme, Billie told OK! magazine in a joint interview that she didn’t "know much about it".
Mark – who is now married to former ‘Coronation Street’ star Michelle Keegan – appeared in the first three series of ‘TOWIE’ from 2010 to 2012, during which he was engaged to Lauren Goodger, and he also had a fling with Lucy Mecklenburgh on the show.
In April, Lauren – who appeared in the first six series – admitted she would return to the reality show for a 10-year reunion episode.
When a fan asked if she would join a reunion show during an Instagram Q&A, Lauren replied: "Of course series 1 won a bafter [BAFTA] and made it was it is today. I was a huge part. (sic)"
Following her response, another fan urged her to rejoin the reality series as it needs "livening up".
But Lauren quipped: "Too much drama I’d be involved in HHahaha. (sic)"
Billie’s sister Sam Faiers previously urged ITV to make a 10-year special show.
She said: "Ten years this September is my first ‘TOWIE’ show. ITV should do a reunion for 10 years.
"They should make one with all the cast because 10 years is a long time and so much has happened since then.
"I always know how long it’s been because I started the show when I was 19 – I’m 28 now."
