Mark Wright has said that he would love to spend more time in Ireland - and that he's already picked where he'd love to bring his family!
Chatting to EVOKE as the Amgen Irish Open Pro-Am returns to The K Club, Mark said he always loves coming back to the Emerald Isle and finds he has the perfect work-life balance while here.
The former TOWIE star mentioned how, in the early days of his career, when making club appearances, Ireland kept calling and wanting more of Mark!
'When I first went on telly and used to go out to do personal appearances in clubs and Irish clubs, for some reason, booked me a lot and whenever I came, I used to say to the boys, "we're all going, we're drinking, it's not just work, we're having a party" because the Irish people are just amazing,' he said.
On whether he would ever bring his family over for a staycation to Ireland, Mark was in agreement that there is no place quite like Ireland, and would love to bring Michelle and Palma here.
The TV personality shared how he and Michelle share hotel suggestions with each other whenever they are away and that she was very impressed with where he stayed on Tuesday night.
'I stayed at Carton House and I sent her a video and I said this is amazing! She was like, "well, we better be going there", and I went, trust me, I'll take you here,' Mark said.
Chatting about his long-distance marriage with Michelle, Mark explained things have changed quite a bit since the arrival of their baby girl Palma in March.
'My wife's from Manchester and I'm from London, so we kind of split it [where they're based], it depends where were both working at the time,' he explained.
As for whether he and Michelle would ever work together, Mark affirmed that the 'secret' to their decade-long marriage is keeping work and their relationship separate.
'We have been approached quite a few times since we've been together,' he said. 'We have a nice kind of thing where we just like to work separately and our home life and our relationship stay away from work.'
Mark was one of the familiar faces taking part in the celebrity Pro-Am. The Amgen Irish Open Pro-Am returns to The K Club’s Palmer North Course on September 3, 2025, raising the curtain on a stellar week of golf, entertainment, and family-friendly festivities.
