"People say, 'Ah, they haven't seen each other for ages,' but they don't know.

"Mark sometimes comes home for a weekend and no one know he's even there. Over the years we've learned how to do that."

The Sun Online recently revealed that Mark is mulling over moving back to England so that he can spend more time with Michelle.

A source told us: "Mark has asked to leave EXTRA in the USA, as he wants to return to the UK and be with Michelle.

"He is also hosting The Bachelor here next year, and has other UK TV offers which he can’t do if he stays at EXTRA.

"Mark has loved doing EXTRA for 15 months, but feels the time is right to move on.

"But he has a dilemma now, whether to stay and help the sale of the show to a new network or leave and return to the UK.

"He is awaiting permission to leave, but may have to stay until the show relaunches."
