Mark Wright is flying high over in the US right now thanks to his showbiz correspondent role on TV show Extra.
The ex TOWIE star is beamed into millions of households every day and interviews a string of BIG name stars like Mariah Carey, Chris Hemsworth and Margot Robbie.
Proud Mark, 30, often shares photos of himself with his famous interview subjects – as many of us would if we rubbed shoulders with the A-list on a daily basis!
But Mark probably wasn’t expecting his latest photo to provoke such a backlash…

Mark found himself Keeping Up With The Kardashians this week after bagging an exclusive chat with none other than Kim K herself.
He shared a photo of himself and Kim mid-interview to Instagram with the caption: “Great night chatting to this 1 @kimkardashian what a lovely girl and so funny too.”
Well, some fans were NOT that impressed with Mark for referring to Kim, 37, as a girl.
One wrote: “If she’s over 18 she’s a woman, not a girl.”
Another remarked: “Girl? I hope she doesn’t read this post. Seems a little disrespectful to me.”
Although there were WAY more positive comments than negative ones, it seemed to strike a chord with Mark – or perhaps it was the fact outlets started reporting on the negative comments only.
Either way, he’s now changed the caption to replace “girl” with “person”.
Plenty of fans, however, flocked to his defence, saying he’d done nothing wrong by describing Kim as a “girl”.
One wrote: “Any older woman loves being called a girl. Get a life silly people.”
Another said: “Ahhh girl, woman all the same don’t pick holes people it’s not the end of the world.”
Mark’s famous relatives also chipped in with their support: sister Jessica said she was a “very proud sister” while wife Michelle Keegan simply said, “Yup!”
Even Stranger Things actress Millie Bobbie Brown – aka Eleven – seemed impressed, posting a comment on the snap saying: “Wait what!!!”
Mark is apparently pals with Millie as he replied: “I told her you loved their show!”
