Mark Wright has earned a nap after winning the London Marathon this weekend.
After reaching the finish line and earning a medal, the former Towie star, 36, was cheered on by wife Michelle Keegan, 35.
On Sunday (April 23), the reality star ran with his brother Josh Wright, as well as his parents Mark and Carol Wright.
Mark and Josh finished the marathon in 3:36:53, as their parents walked in the hopes of finishing in under seven hours.
The family raced as ambassadors for Flora’s Making Healthy Switches programme, which encourages individuals to adopt healthy lifestyle choices for the benefit of both themselves and the environment.
Mark celebrated his major accomplishment by posting a series of photos to Instagram of him sprinting through the rain before beaming happily with a medal around his neck.
He wrapped his arm around Michelle for a lovely picture while they dried off under a tent, and she looked every inch the delighted wife.
Singing his brother’s praises, Mark wrote in his caption: ‘Completing both our second marathons, but this time together!! Wouldn’t have wanted to cross the line with anyone else.
‘We have done some things and seen some places together as brothers, now we add a new one the list. The @londonmarathon. Love this kid so much @joshwright4444 another one ticked off boy 😊💙’
Reciprocating the love, his sibling commented: ‘Emotions off the scale but something else ticked off. Love ya bro 💙💙’
His comments section was flooded with congratulatory messages, as fellow marathon runner Jack Quickenden wrote: ‘Well in bro’.
‘Well done mate 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼’, commented Dan Osborne.
Ruth Langsford and Jamie Redknapp both added clapping emojis to their comments.
Mark is running the London Marathon for the second time; he finished in under four hours last year as well, with Michelle present for an emotional kiss at the finish line.
Mark appears to know what he’s doing now, but he’s been trained by the finest.
The Heart Radio host previously stated that he had recruited the support of three-time Marathon champion Paula Radcliffe to prepare for the race in October.
‘You can’t really beat it, can you? She’s incredible,’ Mark previously told Ok! Magazine.
‘When you’re training for something like this, you always take advice on Google or people you know who have done it, everyone gives you different advice, but I just stuck with her expertise and advice.
‘And of course, it was the best. Because she’s the best of all time.’
Paula had nothing but praise for Mark’s efforts during their training sessions, and said: ‘I think he would say he probably didn’t see himself as a marathon runner in the beginning.
‘He was quicker with the shorter distances and I think coming from football as well, that kind of made that side easier. But he’s probably surprised himself.’
Mark will undoubtedly be filled with pride tonight, especially given his recent failures.
The TV personality was scheduled to run the London Marathon for the first time in 2021, but she was forced to withdraw owing to injuries.
A heartbroken Mark later revealed that he feels ‘nervous’ every time he runs now that he has a calf muscle rupture.
