He said: ‘I’ve been wanting to get back to work and do things. And I’ve been thinking, I’ve got sort of anxiety about, I can’t get and be and do, and then I thought to myself, do you know what, I’m in exactly the right place with exactly the right people at exactly the right time.
‘There might never be another time on the planet where I get to spend this much concentrated time with my family, my kids so I’m very grateful.’
Mark then revealed he has the same philosophy during lockdown, saying: ‘That’s the biggest thing I take out of this Robs, it’s so hard to find a positive in such a negative situation, but you have to take positives from everything in life.’
