Mark Wright has broken down in tears and sobbed watching wife Michelle Keegan in Netflix hit Fool Me Once. The ITV The Only Way is Essex star spoke out on his Heart FM show, discussing ITV Coronation Street star Michelle's new role as Maya in the eight-part series.

‌Speaking on his radio show, Mark Wright on Saturdays, he said: "I can't tell you how many people have texted me about Fool Me Once... my wife's new Netflix show if you haven't seen it, I'm not being biased. It really is incredible.

"Everybody in the world seems to be watching my wife on Netflix at the moment." Mark went on: "Absolutely incredible. But I get asked a lot, right? Is it weird watching your wife play a character on a show? And by the way, before I met my wife, I would have been asking that same question.

"But I think it's probably because in a credit to her she's that good at what she does, that it doesn't feel weird at the time I completely snap out of the fact that that person on that screen playing Maya is Maya the person on the screen instead of my wife who is sat right next to me."

He said: "I turned to my left to tell my wife how much I loved it and how proud I was and yeah, I broke down I got a lump in my throat I did cry like a little bit of soppy, but I think it was just that moment of watching my wife on the screen.

"And just finding her absolutely impeccable what she does, she works so hard to get to where she's got to … seems that people are loving it. So when I'm telling her that how proud I am I'm like oh, my wife's back in the room. I'm in the living room... we're about to have a takeaway together.

"It's just a really surreal moment. So I think that was just a moment for me to say, Michelle, I'm so proud of you. You're incredible."
