Mark Wright forced to self-isolate with Michelle after Crawley Covid-19 outbreak
Mark Wright is reportedly having to self-isolate at home with his wife Michelle Keegan following an outbreak of coronavirus at his new football team Crawley.
Not long after he made his debut on the pitch for the League Two team, the club has been plunged into crisis with 11 positive Covid-19 cases.
It means the team’s FA Cup match against Bournemouth on Saturday has been postponed.
The outbreak also means that former TOWIE star Mark has to postpone his daily BBC2 fitness show which had been due to start next week.
He will however continue to present his Heart Radio evening show from home.

He told Radio Times : “Starting out on a reality TV show does come with a stigma.
“The minute somebody does one, they apparently have no talents. But I beg to differ. It’s not easy to have a camera put in your face and be expected to be entertaining or likeable.
“I love it when people doubt me. It’s like a drug. One of the reasons I went off to work in LA was because people in my own team were telling me not to risk what I had.”
The Mirror has contacted Mark’s representatives for comment.
