MARK Wright hired a McDonalds food truck to feed hungry builders at his £1.3million Essex home.

A throng of workers queued for burgers on a break from building the TV star and wife Michelle Keegan's mega-mansion.

Work on the luxurious pile was halted as the 35-year-old star waved in the meals on wheels.

In a video on Instagram, Mark chomped down on a vegan McPlant burger as a queue formed at the window.

He added in a post on his feed: "Lovely little surprise for the lads on Friday afternoon.

"Buzzing to have the @McDonaldsUK McPlant van here on site to reward the boys for a hard day’s graft 🔨

"Genuinely can’t believe this burger is actually vegan - tastes just like the Maccie’s we all know and love.

"It’s been co-developed with @BeyondMeatEU and is now available EVERYWHERE so get yourself down to Maccy’s and try it!! #AD"

Mark yesterday unveiled the newest addition to his pad - an amazing BAR.

He declared it open by downing a Heineken in front of his construction workers on his birthday.

Joking about how the workmen had all gathered in the makeshift pub past their usual home-time, Mark told his Instagram followers: "It's the first pint ever to be poured in the bar.

"All the builders usually finish at 3.30. It's 3.36pm - just turn the camera around."

He then poured out the bar's first lager of many in front of them saying: "This is how you pour a pint. Happy f**ing birthday."

The former reality star knocked back the foamy Heineken in one go.

He added later: "And to make it even better, I forgot, the day that the bar got up and running is on my birthday so there you go.

"What a way to spend my birthday, a pint in my new bar in my new house. Haven't quite finished yet but we're getting there."

Mark and Michelle bought their home for £1.3 million but set about turning it into a high-tech mansion bristling with security features.

The stunning country pad has been designed like an elegant fortress and fitted with 360 degree motion-sensing cameras.

The pair often post updates on the building's progress on their Wrighty Home Instagram account.

The master bedroom, which Mark has shown off on Instagram, has its own glass balcony so the couple can enjoy the countryside views.

Each of the property’s five bedrooms has its own en-suite, while three of them have dressing rooms.

They have shared computer-generated images of the living room and their en-suite spa area as well as the impressive exterior.
