Mark Wright's parents drop off shopping on his birthday after bouncing back from Covid

Mark Wright 's parents have been pictured dropping off some shopping for their son after they bounced back from Covid-19.

Big Mark and his wife Carol were both struck down with the deadly bug over new year, and Mark, Sr. became so ill he was admitted to hospital.

However, he's now seemingly made a good recovery along with his wife, and they have taken to looking after their famous son after he was forced to isolate.

Former Towie star Mark and his wife Michelle Keegan have to stay at home after a coronavirus outbreak among his teammates at Crawley FC.

He turned 34 on Wednesday and his parents were pictured dropping some bits off at the couple's home in Essex.

Big Mark was seen hanging three shopping bags packed with goodies on the railings outside the house, so his son could pick them up without coming into contact with his mum and dad.

Mark has been following all the guidelines and broadcasting his Heart Radio show from home.

The reality star previously begged fans to follow lockdown rules after the deadly bug ripped through his family.

As well as his mum and dad, it also struck down two of his uncles, who were both admitted to hospital with one being taken to intensive care.

Speaking of the emotional turmoil he's been faced with in recent weeks, Mark explained: "My father was suffering in hospital and we worried for his life for two weeks, he’s now home, he’s not completely better, he knows that and we know it.

"My other uncle is in hospital right now, receiving oxygen, and their other brother, my uncle Eddie who I love dearly is currently in a coma in the ICU."

Speaking on his radio show, Mark made an emotional plea to listeners who may be underestimating the impact of the virus, saying: "I want my life back.

"I want my family to be well again. I don’t want my family to have to worry anymore. I don’t want you to worry anymore.

"If you want to get your life back, the only way this will happen is if we obey by the government rules. Now last time when this happened, last year’s lockdown, I saw such a difference."

Mark noted that "everybody was sticking to the rules so much better than it feels this time" and that the virus is "coming back to bite us, harder, faster and tougher".

He went on: "Do you want to see your family members go through what I’m seeing right now?

"I understand if it hasn't affected your family like it has affected mine, bloodlines are different.

"I don't know the science of it, but what I do know is that my father, my dad was suffering in hospital and we worried for his life for two weeks, he’s now home, he’s not completely better, he knows that and we know it."

"Now I'm trying not to be too dark but I'm trying to give you a personal from me, because I am seeing first hand, and I know if you haven’t seen it and you haven't felt it the way I have, I understand it's hard to believe it."
