Mark Wright reveals the Take Me Out crew have to stop contestants from HAVING SEX in the Fernando’s jacuzzi
MARK Wright has revealed the Take Me Out crew have to stop contestants from having SEX in the Fernando's Jacuzzi.
The former Towie star hosts the Take Me Out spin-off show The Gossip with co-presenter Laura Jackson and they make sure everything stays family friendly among the couples.
Speaking to , Mark hints there'll be plenty of drama on this year's show as the couples gather in the villa in Tenerife.
However, the crew make sure everything stays PG on camera.
Mark explained: "It is a little bit cheekier. There's a Jacuzzi now but it is a family friendly show so we make sure there are no real rude shenanigans - although we know they would like to a lot of the time!
"We stop all that and they do what they want when they get home.
"Then we see them at the reunion and find out if it's happened or not!"

While the contestants get up to all sorts behind-the-scenes, Mark admits he and the crew have lots of fun on the Isle of Fernando's.
He said: "We go out for dinner, dancing, and drinking - you see the true colours of some of the crew.
"My signature move is the caterpillar, I did it on Strictly twice."
Spending so much time with prospective couples seems to have rubbed off on Mark - who is happily married to Michelle Keegan - and he now classes himself as the resident matchmaker among his pals.
He explained: "My mates call me Hitch. If any of them are having problems with their girlfriends, I'm always there to step in and give help.
"Or if they want to take someone out, I'm always there to give advice."
Referencing some of his successful matches, Mark said: "I got my best mate with Michelle's cousin so they have been together nearly as long as me and Michelle."
- Take Me Out: The Gossip airs Sundays at 9pm on ITV2.
