Now, the football pundit has headed off on a luxury holiday with wife Michelle, 34, to continue his recovery somewhere sunny as he took snaps of the beach.
The couple flew to Mexico for the festive season, where they could be seen enjoying delicious food and sipping on cocktails by the pool.
Mark shared photos to his Instagram stories of his and Michelle's matching piña coladas, as well as a stein of beer and Mexican-inspired cocktail.
He went on to film a delicious array of tapas as they dived into lunch, including spicy chicken wings, tacos and chicken-topped nachos.
Another snap showcased the stunning white-sand beach and palm trees beyond the resort's huge pool, surrounded by opulent double sun loungers.
"Keep posting our trip, or leave it out?" Mark asked his fans - who enthusiastically voted for the former reality star to keep sharing behind-the-scenes content.
It comes days after Mark revealed he is cancer-free after having a tumour removed from his armpit, and encouraged his fans to get checked.

He said: “I got the all-clear the other day, it’s cancer free. It's in the past, we move on. I feel so, so lucky. I’ve had the worry and anxiety of what this could have been.”
Mark, wed to Our Girl star Michelle added of his shock diagnosis: “I’m not gonna lie, it really gave me and my family a scare."
"Going back to this operation, I have not been able to train for two weeks," he added as he filmed himself going on a walk near his Essex home.
"This is the first longish walk I have been on since the operation, so the first bit of exercise I have been able to do and honestly just already my head is clear.
"I've had the worry and the anxiety of what this could have been and from staying in and recovering leaving me feeling a little bit low and not very motivated."
The star was most recently recovering in hospital after an operation to remove a 12cm tumour from his body.
He explained he found the lump in his "breast/armpit area" and was told not to worry - but returned to medics when it started to grow.
The star shared a topless picture of himself that showed the lump on his body alongside a shot of the tumour measuring 12cm beside a ruler.
