Michelle Keegan has praised husband Mark Wright after he announced his football career move.
The former reality TV star has signed for Sky Bet League Two club Crawley on a non-contract basis.
It turns out Mark had a stint with the Reds more than a decade ago before he found fame on The Only Way is Essex and has more recently worked as a presenter on Heart FM.
And he said never playing a professional game in the Football League had "always niggled away at me."
Mark, 33, revealed on Instagram: "How it started... how it’s going. 12 years later and today I put pen to paper for @officialcrawleytownfc!!"
Former Corrie star Michelle, also 33, was one of the first to comment on the post and she had nothing but praise for her husband of five years.
She wrote: "Never known such a hard working determined person, the word 'can't' just isn't in your vocabulary.
"Congratulations. So proud of you xxx,"she added with a red heart emoji.
And plenty of other celeb pals offered their support.
JLS singer and Soccer Aid pal Marvin Humes wrote: "Well done geezer."
Best mate James ‘Arg’ Argent said: "I am so bloody proud of you, you were always good enough to turn pro! What a story!"
Former Chelsea captain John Terry was full of praise writing: "What did I tell you when we played at soccer aid...playing and training with you every day ,for a week and playing alongside you in the game made me realise how good you were. @officialcrawleytownfc this is a great signing. Good Luck Wrighty."
"Congratulations mate - go and live the dream," comedian John Bishop added.
