Mark Wright has quit his job on American television show Extra to return to live in the UK. Speaking to The Sun, he said: "I'm no longer living in LA. I was there for nearly two years and had the most amazing time." According to the report, Mark negotiated out of his contract so he could move back to the UK and be with wife Michelle Keegan – though the door has been left open for him to work with the company again if he wants.

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."

Despite having a long-distance relationship for the past two years, Mark and Michelle always spoke positively of their life together, explaining they made it work by supporting each other. Mark told Lorraine's Lorraine Kelly: "As long as you see each other enough - why can't it work? It actually keeps things fresh. While we're both young and conquering our dreams.
