It looks as if Mark Wright’s past is coming back to haunt him as a contestant off the UK version of Take Me Out has revealed that she had a fling with him while he was in a relationship!

Natalie Hawker is claiming that she had a nine-month affair with the host of The Gossip (which is the spin-off show of the dating programme) while he was dating his former TOWIE co-star Lauren Goodger.

 

Natalie, who was on Take Me Out, is saying she had an affair with Mark.

She told The Sun newspaper that they pretended not to know each other on the show: “He was scared. It was ridiculous. He would be introduced to me by the crew as a stranger when the fact was I had already ripped his pants off.” Classy.

“The first time he even knew I was on the show was when we met on set. I didn’t say anything and neither did he,” she explained.

“Afterwards he would text me begging me not to say a word. He said his producers had grilled him about whether or not we had slept together. He said he’d told them ‘no’ and I’d have to do the same.”

 

The former TOWIE star is dating soap star Michelle Keegan.

Natalie also said that Mark’s current squeeze, Coronation Street actress Michelle Keegan, ought to know what he’s like: “He loves himself and the idea of fame, so being with a soap star will suit him for now.

“But Michelle should know what he is like and how he thinks. She probably thinks Mark is as sweet as I did. The truth is he is a cheat who uses women to get what he wants then runs a mile.”

A Take Me Out spokesperson has reportedly said that they were aware of the fact that Mark and Natalie knew each other but not that they had had a sexual relationship. Mark's representatives are yet to comment on the claims.
