She said: 'They don't know the background of what's happening. It's no one else's business. I get so frustrated. I'm asked purely because I'm a woman. But I'm immune to it now – it's like a reaction and as soon as I hear it I brush it off, as it's no one else's business'

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.  

She started her career on ITV’s Coronation Street where she portrayed Tina for six years before leaving the Cobbles in 2014. 

Her first serious role after the soap was in the BBC drama Our Girl, which aired the same year she married husband Mark, who left TOWIE in 2011 after three seasons.

In recent years she has also starred in historic drama Ten Pound Poms, which is filmed in Australia, and Sky TV comedy Brassic.

They married at St Mary’s Church in Bury St Edmunds and celebrated their nine-year wedding anniversary last May. 

Former Extra TV host Mark was famed for his appearance on reality show TOWIE, starring alongside best friend James Argent and sister Jess Wright in the long running series.

Before setting down, he dated co-stars Lucy Mecklenburgh and Sam Faiers but it was his romance with ex-fiancée Lauren Goodger that became an integral part of the show’s storyline.

Since TOWIE, Mark furthered his career by presenting Extra TV in Los Angeles, during which time he and Michelle had to endure a long-distance relationship.  

He has also been a contestant on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! and Strictly Come Dancing and in 2023 hosted The Challenge: UK.  

In July, he joined forces with Made In Chelsea’s Spencer Matthews to launch their joint ambassador deal with Marks & Spencer, given their apt names. 

The lovebirds have been documenting their lengthy renovation journey of their lavish Essex mansion, starting in 2019 and wrapping up in August 2023, when they celebrated with a swanky pool party.

Michelle and Mark shared most of their updates on the Instagram page @wrightyhome about the stunning property, which was initially bought for £1.3 million and then fully revamped into their dream home.

In an interview with The Observer last year, Michelle said: ‘I was filming in Australia and hadn’t seen the house for months. And when I walked in, Mark had lit all the candles and… I couldn’t speak for five minutes. 

‘He was like, ‘What do you think?’ I couldn’t find the words to say how I felt, because I was so overwhelmed. I just burst out crying. It still gets me emotional. Because we’ve worked really hard for it. We’ve had to make a lot of sacrifices.’

The jaw-dropping mansion featured five bedrooms, bar, cinema room, sauna, a custom-built kitchen, as well as an at-home gym, a five-a-side football pitch or the kitchen.
