Insiders say Mark Wright is missing his wife Michelle Keegan after their enforced separation. Michelle has been posting idyllic snaps of the South African retreat which will be her home for the next six months, whilst back in Essex, Mark uploaded pictures looking decidedly less happy.
Sources tell Closer that despite Michelle, 28, having only just left Mark, 29, to film BBC war drama, Our Girl, her lovesick husband is already feeling her absence.
A source says: “As soon as Michelle arrived, Mark was asking her to Skype and she landed to streams of text messages from him saying how much he loved her. He was telling her he didn’t know how he was going to get through the next few months.
“Michelle and Mark have chatted about making this work trip as pain-free as possible for both of them. While they’ll be in constant contact, they both agreed that Michelle also needs to focus on training and filming for the series.
“Michelle feels guilty in a way because Mark has been feeling so low following the recent death of his beloved Nanny Pat. However, Mark has vowed to support her and will fly out in few weeks for a romantic reunion.”
