The pair, who married in 2015 after two years together, recently spoke about their relationship, with Michelle describing Mark as her “best friend” as she discussed what made their marriage work.
“I think just being friends and having that relationship, I think we are really lucky where if I go up north, he comes with me if he can and same when I go down south,” she explained. “We are based down south but if we travel, we go with each other and I think that really works for us.”

Mark, who has previously appeared on The Only Way is Essex, I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! and Strictly Come Dancing, recently spoke about his wife’s role on Netflix’s Fool Me Once, revealing that he was brought to tears by her performance.
“I turned to my left to tell my wife how much I loved it and how proud I was,” he recalled. “I broke down. I got a lump in my throat, I did cry like a little bit of soppy, but I think it was just that moment of watching my wife on the screen.

“[She’s] absolutely impeccable [at] what she does — she works so hard to get to where she's got to. [It] seems that people are loving it. So when I'm telling her how proud I am I'm like, oh, my wife's back in the room.
“I think it's probably because of a credit to her — she's that good at what she does that it doesn't feel weird. At the time I completely snap out of the fact that that person on that screen playing Maya is the person on the screen instead of my wife who is sat right next to me.”
