He’s come a long way from Essex, and now ex-Towie star Mark Wright is eyeing up a flat share so crazy it’s making our brains melt.
Brace yourselves.
Now Mark’s based in Los Angeles for work, he’s apparently thinking of buddying up with…
The X Factor's James Arthur.
You heard.
The pair are said to have met poolside and got on like the proverbial house on fire.
James explained: “I recorded a special feature at The Standard hotel in Los Angeles. I was sitting by the pool waiting to hear it back when Mark came over and we had a couple of glasses of whisky.
“He is such a lovely, down to earth guy. We talked about hanging out and sharing a flat. It would be a pretty cool flat,” he told The Mirror.
Mark has landed a job as a correspondent on American TV show Extra.
James… probably has some music coming out or something.
James won The X Factor in 2012. He then had a very public falling from grace after a series of ill-advised tweets and a rap battle that was, frankly, a terrible idea.
He was dropped by Simon Cowell’s label Syco in 2014, but then resigned to them in 2016.
As for Mark, we’re still holding out a hope he’ll return to Towie. You can’t stop us hoping.
And Mark’s wife, Michelle Keegan? She’s probably pleased as punch Mark has a new buddy in La La Land.
Probably.
