When they tied the knot in a fairy-tale ceremony in May 2015, Michelle Keegan and Mark Wright were surely looking forward to spending valuable time together. But two years later, the couple are facing a dramatically different reality.

Earlier this month, Mark, 30, headed off to LA for what’s expected to be a year, after landing a job fronting US entertainment show Extra. Meanwhile, Michelle is in Malaysia filming the third series of acclaimed BBC show Our Girl – unable to even wave goodbye to her husband when he left on 3 September.

The couple, who have spent the past two years fending off rumours that they are leading separate lives, are believed to have already spent the past month apart thanks to their work schedules, only briefly reuniting in Essex and Mallorca in August.
