Mark Wright sprints to the shops with Michelle Keegan after leg injury forces him to pull out of marathon
MARK Wright sprinted to the shops with Michelle Keegan after a leg injury forced him to pull out of the London Marathon.
The former Towie star nipped to Marks and Spencers in Hale Village, London with his wife yesterday afternoon.
Mark, 34, opted for casual attire for his trip to the supermarket.
He looked stylish in a matching grey tracksuit and white trainers.
Meanwhile Michelle, also 34, rocked a smart casual outfit for their outing.
The Our Girl actress looked amazing in a pair of blue denim wide leg jeans, cropped white jumper and a camel coat.
She completed the look with a gorgeous Fendi baguette bag, Gucci white mule loafers and a pair of cat eye sunglasses.
Michelle picked up some essentials, including a huge bouquet of flowers.

It comes after Mark pulled out of the huge running event earlier this month due to a calf injury.
On the morning of the 26 mile run, the reality favourite shared the devastating news.
He suffered a tear in his calf four prior, and despite his best efforts, a final visit to his physio showed that it hasn’t healed.
Speaking from the physio table, a disappointed Mark told fans: “I’m currently with George Cooper, a physio I trust. I came here about four weeks ago with a slight tear in my calf. It got worse.
George then said: “It hasn’t had time to repair. It’s still not bad but in two or three weeks time it may be all right but if you want me to treat you like a normal client I’d highly advise you don’t even start this marathon. If you want to, strap it up and see how far you go. You could make this much much worse.”
“If I do it, it’s going to be 10 times worse. Devastating after all this work.”
Just days before Mark revealed that a leg injury might jeopardise his chance to take part in this year’s event.
During an appearance on ITV’s Lorraine, Mark explained a doctor warned him to pull out of the historic race.
After Lorraine quizzed the star on his marathon training, he said: “I’ve got a slight injury. I’ve got a tear in my calf.
“It is annoying it’s upsetting really cos I trained so hard. I don’t know, I’ve just got to sit and think about it, that’s why I’m a little startled this morning.
“He’s advised me not to run but …”
The star went on: “If I wasn’t doing it Sunday I would do the next one, which comes around in April, because I’ve trained now.
Fitness fanatic Mark and soap star Michelle tied the knot in 2015 after meeting in 2012.
The pair bought their £1.3m dream home last year and it’s finally nearly ready for them to move in.
