Mark and ex Coronation Street star Michelle married in a lavish ceremony in 2015.
The pair have spent much of their married life separated by work, with Michelle shooting Our Girl around the world while Mark spent two years in Los Angeles after landing the role as a presenter for US showbiz show Extra.
The star decided to leave the States in early 2019 in order to spend more time with Michelle, announcing at the time ‘it just feels like the right time to come back to the UK and live here with my wife and family.’
