Mark's mother Carol said: '‘Mark’s never looked more content,’ she tells love it!. ‘There’s no drama. He and Michelle just seem very happy together, and have a good laugh. She’s a down-to-earth girl who gets on with the family, and I hope we see a lot more of her. In fact, I’d be more than happy to make her a permanent addition to the Wright family!’
After the heartbreak Mark's last relationship with former co-star Lauren Goodger caused Carol admits she is worried.
She said: 'It’s going to be hard for him to trust, after what he went through with her, and he’ll be very cautious, but he’s a real gentleman with Michelle, and he’d never mess her around.’
