Mark Wright speaks out on Soccer Aid absence amid Danny Dyer feud
MARK Wright has spoken out on missing Soccer Aid after Danny Dyer signed up for the first time since their fallout.
Actor Danny had refused to take part ever since their pals came to blows at V Festival in 2016.
This year Soccer Aid regular and reality TV favourite Mark skipped the charity match for the first time in six years - making room for Football Factory star Danny to finally join the celeb England team.
EastEnders legend Danny had previously refused to take part in Soccer Aid if ex Towie star Mark was on the pitch.
But he made his debut for the first time last night.
Writing on Instagram on Sunday night, Mark wished "everyone" on the team good luck ahead of their match against the Rest of the World.
