“Your heart is filled with certain things like a pie chart – family, love, money – if that’s it. Mine is work and drive. People love going to the fairground. I love to work,” said Mark, who is a DJ on Heart FM.

He added: “I do work hard, but I make sure I have downtime. I’ve got a wife I love spending time with. She works very hard herself, she’s a grafter.

When I say I’m addicted to work, I wouldn’t put it above my family and friends. No way.

“We make sure we put it into the diary certain times when we have downtime and are together.

“We just make it work. There’s no rules in life,” he concluded.

Marriage concerns addressed

Mark also addressed concerns about his marriage during the podcast interview.

He said: “Another thing people say about my relationship – ‘they’re always working, they never see each other.’

“We’re taught by our parents and grandparents that you marry a person in your area, she stays at home and cooks and cleans and you go out to work a 9-5. My grandad, that’s how he lived his life.

“If I want to go away and work for two weeks, my wife supports that and vice versa,” he said.

He concluded with his vow to his wife, family and friends.

“When I say I’m addicted to work, I wouldn’t put it above my family and friends. No way. They come first.”
