Mark Charles Edward Wright (born 20 January 1987) is an English television and radio presenter, television personality and model, who is known for appearing as a cast member on the first three series of The Only Way is Essex.
Afterwards, he appeared on the eleventh series of I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! where he finished as runner-up, and the twelfth series of Strictly Come Dancing, where he finished in fourth place.

Recently he was involved in playing for England for the charity Soccer Aid, where he scored a long 35-yard freekick.
Wright is the elder son of Carol Wright and Mark Wright, Sr. and the brother of Jess Wright, Natalya Wright and Josh Wright.
Before his appearances on The Only Way Is Essex, Wright was a semi-professional footballer, with a youth career at West Ham United,Arsenal, and Tottenham Hotspur.
He started his senior career with Southend United, but moved into nightclub promoting and playing only semi-professionally. In January 2012, it was reported that he rekindled his semi-professional footballing career, by signing for St Neots Town, but this was denied by Wright on his Twitter account.
In October 2010, Wright was one of the original cast members in the ITV reality programme The Only Way is Essex. He announced his departure from the show on 23 October 2011, near the end of the third series. He later returned for a cameo appearance in the sixth series and also, for the 2012 Christmas special. He briefly returned again in 2014 and again in 2016.
