Mark Wright opens up on the death of his Nanny Pat: ‘I’ll never get over what’s happened’

Mark Wright has spoken out for the first time since the death of his Nanny Pat. The TOWIE legend, who appeared in all 16 series, passed away aged 80 on 16 December 2015.

Hundreds turned out to celebrate her life at her funeral in Essex and now, Mark has spoken for the first time.

“You know, life moves on,” Mark told The Sun. “We're still very upset, I always will be. I'll never get over what's happened. She'll always be remembered and I love her very much.”

Speaking about the funeral, Mark said having so many people turn out to say goodbye to Nanny Pat.

“It meant a lot to me that everybody was there and my nan was a very loved lady,” he said. She was very nice to everybody she ever met, so the fact there was such a big turn out just proved the special person she is.”

Mark, along with his mum, Carol, dad, Mark Snr, and sister Jessica joined the radio DJ on the red carpet for the premiere of Creed earlier this week, their first public appearance since the sad news.
