Mark Wright tells Michelle Keegan ‘I can’t carry on like this’

Mark Wright prepares to sacrifice his Hollywood career after the strain of his long distance marriage to Michelle Keegan finally takes its toll

They’ve spent most of their three-year marriage living in different countries due to their work commitments.

But the long-distance seems to have finally taken its toll after reports surfaced that Mark Wright was quitting his prestigious TV job in LA to spend more time with wife, former Coronation Street star Michelle Keegan, back in the UK.

And insiders tell Closer that the former TOWIE star has been desperate to put an end to their separate lives.

A source tells Closer, “Neither of them could stand being apart from each other much longer, and Mark seemed to be suffering more as he was also away from his family who he's very close to.

"He told Michelle that he can't carry on with their marriage like this and that he was going to have to make big changes so they can be together more."

"He's making a big sacrifice in terms of turning away from the US but he feels it'll be worth it because he's craving some normality in his marriage.

"The situation has been dragging on far too long for both of them, and Mark realised how upset Michelle has been without him being near her. She was always very supportive of him following his dream, but lately he's realised how much he really misses her and wants to spend proper, relaxing time together like any other young couple."
