MARK WRIGHT has officially returned to the UK to live full-time with his wife Michelle Keegan.
The former Towie star has now left the US TV show Extra, which he hosted Stateside.
He negotiated to be let out of his contract in order to live in the same country as his actress wife, but left on good terms and the door is open for him to work with them in the future.
Mark tells me: “I’m no longer living in LA. I was there for nearly two years and had the most amazing time.
“It just feels like the right time to come back to the UK and live here with my wife and family.
“I’ll always be grateful to the show Extra for the amazing opportunity they gave me.
“I loved my time at Extra and I love my bosses, who I’ve left on great terms with, so I look forward to working with them more in the future.”
Mark’s first full-time job back in the UK is as the host of the new series of The Bachelor on Channel 5.
Prince William quizzes movie star
Prince William and Kate Middleton’s favourite film is the vertigo-inducing rock-climbing documentary Free Solo.
The royals love the Oscar-nominated movie so much they arranged a screening for Prince George.
And at last Sunday’s Baftas they asked to spend time with the star of the film, pro climber Alex Honnold and his girlfriend Sanni McCandles, who also has a prominent part in the movie.
Wills had so many questions lined up for Alex regarding how he managed to climb the 3,000ft granite slab El Capitan, in California’s Yosemite National Park, without any ropes or safety gear and even asked to look at his hands for injuries.

Meanwhile, Kate bonded with Sanni over sharing daredevil partners, grilling her on how she feels every time Alex took on such an extreme and dangerous challenge.
Perhaps they could sort Alex’s next death-defying stunt – being driven around Sandringham by Prince Philip.
