Mark Wright gushes over 'special' Michelle Keegan with rare snap as new TV project airs

Mark Wright has gushed over his 'special little wife' Michelle Keegan as he posted a selfie of himself with the former Coronation Street actress.

Former The Only Way Is Essex star Mark, 36, praised the talented actress, 35, as she made her on-screen debut in a new show Ten Pound Poms.

Michelle plays Kate in the BBC drama, which tells the story of one million Brits who were sold the dream of a new life in Australia.

As the BBC programme began on Sunday, Mark posted a photo from his and Michelle's trip Down Under last year, during which Michelle was filming for the drama.

The photo shows Mark wearing a grey hoodie and smiling as he holds the camera while Michelle stands next to him and gives a grin as she wears a black puffer jacket and matching sunglasses.

Mark and Michelle are stood in front of a picturesque beach with golden sands and blue seas.

Writing in the caption, Mark gushed: "Here we are, back in July 2022 in Sydney Australia, where this incredibly, talented, hard working special little wife of mine spent 5 months last year working her but off, filming her new show Ten Pound Poms!!

"Tonight we finally get to see it on our screens and I’m so bloody excited and proud. 9pm tonight @bbcone".

Michelle commented on Mark's post with a string of red heart emojis.

Meanwhile, fans commented to share their excitement over Michelle's latest role.

One said: "Wow 1st episode and I’m hooked £10 poms".

"I watched it, it was great and Michelle smashed it xx," another penned while a third wrote: "She was brilliant, as always! My husband and I really enjoyed the first episode! Well done Michelle and the rest of the Ten Pound Poms cast and crew!"

It comes after Michelle was left feeling furious over trolls leaving intrusive comments on a photo of himself and Michelle posing with their tiny premature nephew.

Mark and Michelle were targeted by intrusive trolls quizzing the pair on when they were going to have a child in the comments.

The comments are said to have left Michelle "furious" and "incredibly angry" at the hurtful words.

Mark and Michelle tied the knot in 2015, but have so far not chosen to have children. Whilst the pair remain tight lipped about whether they will choose to have a family or not, comments about their plans have angered Brassic actress Michelle.

A source told new! magazine: "Michelle was really down after all the comments. It made her feel incredibly angry at all those anonymous people -who know nothing about her or what's going on in her life - being so bolshy and plain inappropriate.

"As far as she and Mark are concerned, their baby plans are private and have nothing to do with the public. No one knows what's going on behind closed doors and it infuriates her that people are so unaware of that.

"She refuses to be pressured , and while she is longing to start a family , she wants to take things strictly on her terms."
