Mark Wright jets to Australia to reunite with wife Michelle Keegan after eight weeks apart

MARK Wright has reunited with his wife Michelle Keegan in Australia after eight weeks apart.

The TV star, 35, landed in Sydney late last night and wasted no time in seeing the sights.

He told his followers he managed to get in a work out despite being jet lagged before hitting the beach for some fun in the sun.

Michelle is filming BBC drama Ten Pound Poms Down Under,  while Mark has been busy overseeing the finishing touches to their mega-mansion back in Essex.

The show follows a group of Brits as they abandon post-war Britain in 1965 and head on an adventure to Australia.

Michelle will play a nurse called Kate, who arrived in Oz without her fiancé and is desperate to rewrite her past.

She left the UK in May, so was no doubt delighted to be back with Mark after so long apart.

Just last weekend she went on a solo trip around the country during a break in filming.

The couple – who have been married for seven years - are no strangers to being forced apart due to conflicting schedules.

Michelle previously spent months filming abroad for Our Girl, while Mark relocated to LA for a job on Extra.

But earlier this year, Mark revealed that he had turned down a job presenting a huge American dating show because he wanted to be at home with Michelle.

He said: “I would never be able to live away again. I would certainly go back there for a period of time to do a job, but not full time. I don’t like missing my friends and family.”
