TV’s Hottest New Couple… Mark Wright Snapped With Soap’s Most Beautiful Woman

Two pin-ups have united… to make UK TV’s hottest new couple.

TOWIE star Mark Wright has made his stamp on television in the last year, coming close to winning I’m A Celebrity 2011 and playing his part as Cupid in Take Me Out’s spin-off show, The Gossip.

And now he’s making his stamp on one of UK soap’s hottest stars, Corrie’s Michelle Keegan.

The two met through mutual friends and have been flirting for months, but cemented their relationship by publicly kissing in a restaurant in Dubai.

The pair locked lips at swish Nobu eaterie in the Middle-East city, just months after Michelle and The Wanted’s Max George called it quits after nineteen months together. He’d bee pictured kissing a girl in a nightclub.

A pal told The Irish Sun: “Michelle hasn’t wanted to get into anything serious since splitting with Max, but she really likes Mark. They both ended up in Dubai for the New Year, on separate trips, and have spent a lot of time together.

“One night they went out for some sushi with a group of friends and things got a little frisky.”

One onlooker said: “They met in the bar and had to wait quite a while for a table. At the end of the meal Mark kissed her for five minutes in public, a big no-no in Dubai. We were shocked they were at it for so long.”

The pair were snapped enjoying themselves on a night out.

Michelle is the latest TV beauty to catch Mark’s eye since his split from long-term ex Lauren Goodger.

He was also linked to X Factor babe Tulisa Contostavlos during a US holiday last March.

And recently he hooked up with Dancing On Ice judge Ashley Roberts in Australia at the wrap party for I’m A Celebrity.

TV’s new love… will it last?
