Mark Wright shames photographer for harassing him at airport

The star has recently been living in up in America as he kick starts his new presenting gig

Former TOWIE star Mark Wright has shamed a photographer for harassing him at an airport in a post on his Instagram.

The star is used to being swarmed by the paps but it seems this time he wasn’t impressed after revealing he struggled to leave the airport after the paparazzi were blocking him.

Now Mark has spoken out about the incident following his 11-hour trip as he arrives back in the UK.

He wrote: “11 hours of flying later & the photographer won’t step away from the lift doors haha. “Er mate you avin a laugh, I wanna go home”.”

Fans rushed to support the star with one writing: “Got to give it up mate!”

Another said: “Price of fame love.”

Focusing on Mark’s airport look one gushed: “You’re sexy as hell, even after such a long flight!”

Mark, 30, has been jetting to and from Los Angeles for the past few months after landing a job as a presenter for US entertainment show Extra.

A spokesman for the star announced the exciting news as they told MailOnline: “Mark has been asked to do a few segments with Extra. He is working on them now.”

It seems this gig has really helped Mark pursue his presenting career and he’s even rubbed shoulders with international singer Mariah Carey.

In an Instagram snap Mark posed alongside Mariah with a huge grin on his face, of course.

He wrote: “Chatted to this one @mariahcarey tonight on @extratv to be aired very soon!!”

Despite bagging the job it means Mark will be away from his wife actress Michelle Keegan for 18 months.

But the star has insisted they are determined to make it work.

During an appearance on Sunday Brunch recently, Mark said: “I go back out to the US next week. I’ve also got another show I’m looking at. It’s a big commitment. It’s 18 months and if I decide to do it, it starts in two months.

“It would mean moving to American for 18 months. It’s a big commitment and I don’t know if I’m going to do it yet.

“Michelle’s currently filming abroad now for a few more months and she finishes at the time this starts, so that will kind of be her turn to travel to where I’m working.

“I’ve been going out to see her lots.”

The two previously came under fire with some suspecting their marriage is on the rocks.

The couple, who married in 2015, hit back at the claims saying their marriage is as strong as ever.

Mark continued: “I just think you make it work. You just have to put that time aside.”

He then gushed: “She really is the most incredible woman. I love her so much. We just make it work.”

Aww, we love these two!
