Mark Wright's horror as his 65-year-old dad FAINTS during 130ft bungee jump

Mark Wright was left horrified when his 65-year-old dad fainted during a bungee jump in an episode of A Wright Family Holiday.

The former reality star was left repeatedly shouting "how do ya feel?" as his dad hung lifeless in the air attached to the bungee in shocking scenes.

In order to spend some family time together, Mark, 36, his brother Josh, 33, and their dad Mark Sr went on a British road trip.

But it seems this quickly took a turn for the worst as they took on some frightening challenges.

When Mark Sr found out that he would be doing a bungee jump off of a bridge, he said: "Josh has chosen this activity to get one over on Mark, but he don't realise that I am in the middle of it all. I could throttle him at the moment, I really could!"

He goes on to ask the instructor: "It's not dangerous is it?"

He added: "Mark is in bits, it won't surprise me if he don't do it... or I don't do it. But when I get up there, if I don't fancy it, I just won't do it."

The 65-year-old was the first to take on the challenge as he stood on the edge of the platform while his sons offered some words of encouragement.

But it didn't go quite to plan as when he jumped off the bridge he stopped responding.

Mark asked his dad: "Yes dad! Go on dad! How do you feel? Dad how do you feel?"

"Dad, how do ya feel?'" Josh added.

One of the instructors then got involved after becoming concerned, asking: "Is Mark okay? He's stopped moving."

But it wasn't long before Mark Sr came back around and started waving his fist as he got pulled back up to meet his sons on the platform.

Talking about the experience Mark Sr said: "That was amazing but terrifying, that was terrifying!' he said after the jump."

Josh explained: "You weren't answering us, were you shouting back when we asked if you were ok?"

Marl Sr responded: "I think I blacked out. All I can remember is that I went into a swing and that was that. Every thing else was a blur."
