"He starts filming next month and can’t wait". Mark pictured with wife-to-be Michelle Keegan CBBC said: "Over the series, the duo will surprise 10 kids with the news that they have been selected for The Dengineers". "With the help of expert designers and builders and the youngsters themselves, the Dengineers team will then construct an extraordinary den, either completely from scratch or by transforming an existing space in the home, like a cellar or attic".
