Mark Wright reveals joy at being reunited with his wife Michelle Keegan in South Africa after eight weeks apart
MARK Wright posted a sweet message to his wife Michelle Keegan as he revealed he was flying out to South Africa to see her.
The pair have been apart for eight weeks – with Michelle juggling a hectic filming schedule for the third series of BBC show Our Girl and Mark juggling jobs in London, Los Angles and Spain.
Tonight they will be reunited however, and former Towie star Mark told his Instagram followers he couldn’t wait to be back together with his wife.
Posting a picture of himself on Instagram, Mark captioned the snap: “Feeling very tired and jet lag. Currently on the 3rd plane in 2 days…
“The main thing I'm thinking about is the fact I have 2 more flights to go in 24hours and I’ll be back in the arms of the person that means more than anything to me.
“OMG how this moment is going to be cherished. It's been well overdue and I'm more excited than you can imagine.”
Michelle has reprised the role of Corporal Georgie Lane for the third series of Our Girl, while Ben Aldridge is back as Captain James.
The twelve-part series kicks off later this year with Georgie taking on three breath-taking missions – including helping in the aftermath of an earthquake in Nepal.
He added: “Very excited for you guys to see what we've gone with season 3... watch this space!”

Michelle admitted in June that she's been missing Mark after being away for so long.
During a Facebook Live Q&A with Revlon, she said: “The hardest part [of my job] is probably not seeing my family and friends for the time that I’m away filming.
“Although we FaceTime all the time, I’m in a lucky position I know that, but you miss home a little bit.”
