Mark Wright admitted the pressure to start a family with Michelle Keegan was 'hard work' as couple focused on their careers - after actress hit back at 'sexist' questions about their private life


The couple, both 37, revealed on Sunday that they will welcome their first child together in the new year.

But Mark had previously insisted he would wait for 'a year or two' before starting a family with former Coronation Street star Michelle, who he married in 2015, with the couple opting to put their careers first. Heart Radio host Mark, who rose to fame on ITVBe series TOWIE, is already an uncle to footballer brother Josh's two children as well as sister Jess's son and has spoken over the years about wanting to become a father himself one day. The Harlan Coben adaptation saw Michelle play military pilot Maya Stern and was an instant global hit, with over 98,200,200 views in the first 91 days.
