‘Hahaha great memories, he just sent it to me as it was 3 years ago today!! Time flys, it really does, so laugh, smile and live life to the fall…. just don’t be too engrossed in your phone and get caught out by this plum.’

The former TOWIE star recently offered a rare insight into his relationship with Michelle Keegan during an episode of Shopping With Keith Lemon.

The couple typically keep their relationship out of the spotlight however Mark shared a candid anecdote about how they met. 

According to the star, he didn’t know who former Corrie star Michelle was when he started out in the industry, but she caught his attention when she said he was ‘fit’ during a red carpet appearance. 

He said: ‘The way she came to my attention, I never knew who Michelle was when I started and someone said to me you know that Michelle Keegan did an interview on the red carpet and she was asked about you and said “he’s fit but he knows it.”

Unwanted surprise! Looking up, Mark responded: 'What?' before promptly being drenched in water from Olly's bottle

‘So I went who is Michelle Keegan so I googled her and went “phwoar”, so that brought her to my attention and I thought I’d like to take her out. At first I didn’t chase it because she was just a pretty girl.’

Mark also revealed when he knew she was the one. He recalled: ‘As soon as I got to know her after seeing her two or three times I said to my cousin I’m making that girl my wife.

‘He said “Mark you’ve only just met her” and I said trust me, she’s got everything, and here we are today.’

Meanwhile, Olly, who is currently filming the 2021 series of The Voice in Manchester, has been spending the lockdown with his girlfriend Amelia Tank.   

Earlier this year, the pair’s antics on the social media site, TikTok, were a hit with his followers, but not everyone was impressed.

Olly was forced to apologise after offending viewers for putting his penis inside a Pringles can before Amelia reached into it to pick out a crisp.

On the furore it caused, Olly responded: ‘With these TikTok videos, you shouldn’t believe everything you’re watching

‘Most of the pranks myself and Amelia did, without ruining it for people, were set up and sometimes people get offended. All we wanted to do was make people smile during a difficult time.  

‘There is no intention there of upsetting anyone, it was just between me and my girlfriend. It doesn’t bother me though, you can’t please everyone.

‘It won’t stop me – but there won’t be any more crisps involved!’
