Mark Wright’s marriage to gorgeous Michelle Keegan may have been tested to the limits as they pursue their careers on opposite sides of the world.
But the TOWIE hunk has said their relationship is stronger than ever – thanks to their constant phone calls and secret meetings.
“We speak 20 times a day,” he told The Mirror. “We see each other more than people know. I’ve flown there. She’s flown here.”
Michelle’s been kept busy filming Our Girl in South Africa, Malaysia and Nepal, while Mark’s making a name for himself Stateside with his TV show Extra.
But the Essex success story says their two-year marriage isn’t in trouble, despite the constant rumours.
He even admitted that they lie to fans to get some alone time.

“We tweet we’re still working, me in LA, her in Malaysia,” Mark revealed. “When she arrives, she posts a picture of her place, I post a pic of mine.
“It’s not that we want to hide it – it’s just we want that moment together on our own.”
And the soppy star added: “She’s my wife – the most special person in the world to me.”
