Mark Wright takes action after ‘being left furious’ over Towie scenes – and sparks feud with castmember
MARK Wright is said to have taken action after “being left furious” over Towie scenes – and has sparked a new feud with Amy Childs.
It comes after Mark’s ex girlfriend Lauren Goodger made an explosive return to the ITVBe show after nine years away.
Last month on the reality show, Lauren discussed a tattoo she had of Mark’s name in an intimate area during a catch-up with Amy.
But now an insider has revealed that Mark, 37, is fed up with his name being mentioned by his ex on the show.
An insider told us: “Mark doesn’t want to be associated with Towie at all these days, and hates his name being brought up on the show – especially when it’s to do with his relationship with Lauren.
“A member of his team contacted Towie producers to remind them that he doesn’t want to be discussed or featured on the show, so could they not keep dragging up the past.
“Bosses were quite amused as ultimately, Mark wouldn’t be where he is today without the show and a big part of that was his messy love life.”
As well as giving Towie a ticking off, the insider tells us Mark is also annoyed with Amy for bringing him up.
“He believes Amy knew what she was doing when she brought Mark up to Lauren in front of the cameras and he thinks she did it to wind him up.
“He understands some fomer towie stars want to go back on the show and rehash the past, but he’d rather it stay in the past.”
The Sun has reached out to Towie for comment.
Mark and Lauren’s rollercoaster romance was at the center of some Towie’s most explosive scenes.
Lauren, 37, returned to the show last month and reunited with her old pal and beautician Amy for a chat, reflecting on their friendship.
Amy recalled: “I remember spray-tanning you and being like, ‘oh my god, she’s got “Mark” on her noonie’.”
She then asked Lauren: “Have you still got it?” before Lauren quipped: “No. It’s gone. It had to go.
“How could I get with a new boy with that on my noon?”
Last month Lauren opened up on her relationship with Mark ahead of her Towie return.
Mark was rumoured to have cheated on Lauren with co-star Lucy Meck while Lauren also faced allegations she was unfaithful, something she denied.
She told Closer Magazine: “There was a lot of heartache and drama.
“Now there is no drama.”
Lauren and Mark started dating when they were just teenagers and were together on and off for over a decade.
The aftermath of their break-up saw a series of bitter blows traded between the exes.
However, Mark is now happily married to Fool Me Once actress, Michelle Keegan.
The pair met a year after his split from Lauren and went on to tie the knot in 2016.
Meanwhile, Lauren has gone on to have two kids with ex Charles Drury.
She is proud parent to daughter Larose, aged two.
Yet the pair’s second daughter tragically died in July 2022.
Eariler this year, the reality star revealed that her daughter Larose was the motivation behind her choice to return to Towie.
Talking to New magazine, Lauren said: “All my friends have got jobs and work – most mums do- and I want Larose to see that I’ve got a job too.”
