Mark Wright shares excitement as he flies to South Africa to be with Michelle

It’s funny to think that a year or so ago, the celeb mags were convinced that Mark Wright and Michelle Keegan’s marriage was over.

Relying on sources clearly plucked out of the sky, they suggested that Michelle was getting too close to her castmates while filming in Africa and that the long distance was causing the couple a lot of stress.

But as we’ve seen since, the pair have been very happy together and their marriage looks very happy indeed. Awwww.

This weekend, Mark once again proved all was well when he jetted off to South Africa to spend some quality time with his missus.

In fact he was so excited about seeing her again he posted a picture of himself on a plane, accompanied by a cute message expressing just how eager he was to be “back in the arms” of his loved one.

“The main thing I’m thinking about is the fact I have two more flights to go in 24 hours,” he wrote.

“And I will be back in the arms of the person who means more than anything to me.

“OMG how this moment is going to be cherished.

“It’s been well overdue and I’m more excited than you can imagine.” (sic)

Wow! He’s really laying it on thick, isn’t he?

But it’s lovely to see that he’s still as smitten as he was the day he married her two years ago.

Mark and Michelle have been busy of late with their careers which means they have spent rather a lot of time apart.

Michelle is in South Africa filming the new series of Our Girl, while Mark has been in the US presenting spots on entertainment shows.

And it looks like the handsome fella might have something very exciting coming up that will keep him even busier.
