Mark Wright has been a staple on our screens since 2010 - but now he's back with a very different kind of TV show.

The former TOWIE star - who moved to the US in 2017 for three years to present entertainment news programme EXTRA - is joining forces with his dad Mark Snr and brother Josh to bring us A Wright Family Holiday.

Launching on BBC One and iPlayer, the travel show will see the trio visit some of the UK’s most beautiful hotspots, as they will go head-to-head in activities such as coasteering in Newquay, go-karting in Llandudno, kite-surfing in County Down and downhill biking in the Scottish Highlands.

“I’m absolutely buzzing for this. At this stage in my life, I want to do things that I really want to do and love,” Mark previously revealed.

“I’m getting to travel the country, see places I would never normally have seen, take on adrenaline experiences, challenge myself - what I love to do most - and do all of this with two of my favourite people on earth.

“My two best mates: the bro and my dad. It’s a dream come true and I can’t wait to get started. It’s gonna be one hell of a ride.”

But just who are Mark’s brother and father? Read on to find out.
