An emotional Mark Wright crossed the finish line of the 2023 London Marathon on Sunday afternoon.

After a successful run, he was joined at the finish by his wife Michelle Keegan and sisters Jess and Natalya.

After a great effort, Mark and Josh reached the end of the route in three hours and 36 minutes.

Mark, who gave his fans an update at the end of the run on Sunday, clearly got emotional as he discussed his experience and showed off his medal.

He said, ‘That’s it! Another one in the bag. London Marathon. Absolutely buzzing. Beat my time but didn’t quite get what I wanted.

“But it was still better than last time. We need to keep improving – that’s what life is all about. Keep improving yourself!’

He ended by saying, “Well done to everyone who ran a marathon today. Absolutely incredible experience again.’

The TOWIE star struggled to speak as he gave a final update to his fans: “Emotions are high and I’m about to tear up and have a lump in my throat so I’ll turn it off.”

Speaking to Flora ahead of the start of the TCS London Marathon, Mark said: ‘I’m excited.

“I’m a little nervous, I’m nervous for my mom and dad, but at the same time it’s an emotional day.

‘All four of us family do it together, the London Marathon – what a time.’

He posted to Instagram earlier in the day revealing that he and Josh would run and their parents would walk – they had to cover the distance in seven hours to get their medal.

Mark said, “It’s the effort that counts. They’re going to do their best to even make it, let alone do it in a good time.

“Me and Josh, we will do our best, but Josh played 90 minutes in his game yesterday, so obviously he will be a little stiff as a board already.”

Meanwhile, Sir Mo Farah crossed the finish line in 9th today in his last ever London Marathon.

It is the first time since 2019 that the marathon will take place in April.

For the past three years, the event has been held in October due to the coronavirus pandemic.
