Since then, Mark has returned to social media with a video that began with the words: “We have been on quite a journey…” before he was seen popping up doing exercises alongside his footballer brother Josh in a promo for their Live Wright fitness product.
In the post, Mark promised anyone hoping to get fit in the coming months that Live Wright – the workouts and coaching business they started in lockdown – had been stepped up a gear. He wrote: “We’ve been on such a journey with Live Wright. Starting in lockdown, instagram workouts, creating a community, live events and coaching so many of you to achieve your goals.
“Now we are launching a levelled up version of the original Live Wright. We’re stripping it back: killer workouts, simple nutrition (that tastes unreal) at accessible prices.”
Mark’s sister and fellow former TOWIE star Jess Wright was among those offering their congratulations in the video’s comments as she wrote simply: “So proud of you boys.” Their mum Carol also responded: “Will be the best way to get fit in 2025 xxx bring it on boys. Xxx @_livewright_.”
