Mark recently said: “If you’re in love and in a happy relationship, you’ll be happy to see each other.
“You have to learn that you’ve been together for a long time and you haven’t seen each other in three weeks, so it’s exciting at first, but then it’s back to being a 10-year relationship.
“The longer you go, the more pressure there is because it’s been longer. But I was in LA and I had dinner with Piers Morgan and I told him it was difficult. He said, ‘I had this with my wife and we have a rule of 3 weeks, so don’t let it go more than 3 weeks.”
When asked about his current situation, Mark said: “Even though it’s tough with Australia, it’s a lot of flying.”

Mark, whose brother and father have never worked in TV, said: “It was funny sometimes, because they don’t care about TV and work. You know, it’s obviously my main job, so that I have to worry about But Josh has never wanted to go on TV.
“So sometimes, they would complain about the amount of hours because I don’t know if you know, but it takes forever to shoot and it takes a few hours to get a shot.
‘And sometimes they moaned as if it’s okay, we’re going to have a little dinner. And before I had to say guys, like, this is the way television works.
He added: “It was good in terms of opening the eyes of the whole world of television, but also just doing the things we did that were completely different to anything we’ve ever done.
“And they were completely adrenaline-fueled experiences. So yeah, hopefully it will look good once it hits the screen.
Exciting: Mark to host new show A Wright Old Adventure alongside his dad Mark, older brother and Josh
Due to his hectic work schedule and constant travel, Mark feels that he has missed a lot of time with his family.
He admitted: “I’ve got an amazing relationship with my family. We’re really close. My dad and my brother, obviously, we’re all really good friends, you know we’ll just go out and have a beer together.
“But my work does not allow me to see them as much as I would like. When I’m working sometimes I see their pictures and they’re in the pub together or having a family barbecue and I’m not there.
“But that’s one of the reasons why the show we just did was just to make up for lost time and make memories in a month that some people don’t get in a lifetime, so it was really special.
