"Absolutely incredible. But I get asked a lot, right? Is it weird watching your wife play a character on a show?
"And by the way, before I met my wife, I would have been asking that same question.
"But I think it's probably because in a credit to her she's that good at what she does, that it doesn't feel weird at the time I completely snap out of the fact that that person on that screen playing Maya is Maya the person on the screen instead of my wife who is sat right next to me."
Mark went on to admit he broke down in tears of pride after being blown away by Michelle's performance.
