Michelle Keegan shows rare public support for husband Mark Wright after he gives glimpse at 'dream' new home addition

Michelle Keegan publically showed her support for her husband Mark Wright as he became the latest out of the pair to hit TV screens. The former Coronation Street star received her husband's backing last month when she returned to the small screen in her latest drama.

Actress Michelle has been appearing in Ten Pound Poms on BBC One, which was filmed in Australia last year, which follows a group of Brits as they leave dreary post-war Britain in 1956 to embark on a life-altering adventure on the other side of the world and for only a tenner, they have been promised a better house, better job prospects and a better quality of life.

But on Thursday night (June 8), Michelle, 36, was showing her support for Mark in a rare public post about her man as his new TV show aired on BBC One

The new adrenaline-fueled series A Wright Family Holiday, sees the former The Only Way is Essex star plus his brother Josh and dad Mark Senior, embark on an epic road trip across Great Britain as they take on different challenges along the way while also movingly opening up for to each other for the first time.

Taking to her Instagram Story on Thursday before the show went live, Michelle, who is now busy filming her next project, a drama with Netflix, typed: "TONIGHT 8pm #bbc1. Honestly, it's HILARIOUS! Make sure youtine in. x."

It came after Mark had taken to the couple's joint Instagram account dedicated to their home renovation. The couple previously took fans along with them on the journey of creating their dream property.

They shared updates via their own home-based Instagram account, Wrighty Home, before the loved-up pair finally moved into their huge abode, said to be worth £3.5m, in September last year. Mark and Michelle have now been sharing glimpses into their pristine abode, attracting plenty of comments from fans.

In one of their last posts, the pair shared multiple pictures of their amazing bathrooms as well as their guest toilet. The spaces have been decorated with porcelain slabs and gold fittings while both of the main bathrooms feature his and hers sinks with statement mirrors above them.

"Want to share our wash basins with you," Mark typed alongside the post. "We never really thought about these being something we can make special as it’s a wash basin??" And at the time, fans were loving the style and even joked that the double sinks would avoid any trouble for Mark and Michelle, 35 who celebrate eight years married last month.

But back to now and in their latest update, Mark shared how the pair were getting a pool installed in their sprawling back garden. Sharing a series of videos to their Instagram Story of the ongoing building work, Mark proudly showed off the dug out trench as workers placed in the foundations for his luxury pool.

He filmed the base of the pool, yet to be titled as this will be down once it's in the ground, being lifted and lowered into place in two massive parts, revealing it is the third attempt to have it put in. Alongside the post he typed: "What a delivery say!! The best of our lives, growing up as children this would only be a dream."

Mark also shared how his grandmother, Irene, has also popped over to oversee what was going on. Sharing a picture of her perched in a chair at the garden table, looking out to the action, Mark typed: "Nanny Irene watching thew work and planning her 1st dip in a few weeks."
