Mark Wright shares why he loves Glasgow during DJ visit to Ingliston Country Club

Mark Wright has spoken about his love of Glasgow as he spent time in a plush Scots country club and after filming his latest series. The former The Only Way is Essex star who is married to actress Michelle Keegan, has just completed filming on his new BBC series Clean It, Fix it, which sees him going to people’s homes and transforming rooms in their house as well as cleaning and fixing what they got.

Mark who was a guest DJ at Ingliston Estate and Country Club in Bishopton Renfrewshire over the weekend was thrilled to return to Scotland and reminisced about his time in Glasgow over the years.

Relaxing at the venue, which is twenty minutes drive from Glasgow city centre, he said: “Glasgow and Scotland is my second home. My wife Michelle is always up in Glasgow and one of my best mates Arfan is from here too.

“I used to go shopping in the city centre and me and Arfan used to go partying together in the city when I was younger. I remember we went to Sugar Cube club in Queen Street for a birthday party and it was brilliant. We went to the place opposite it too.”

“The first time I was ever here we went to Jumping Jaks too. Actually that was for my first paid personal appearance in Scotland. Obviously Michelle’s family is from here so it’s a great chance to come up and just relax.”

Mark enjoyed a beer, chicken tenders and truffle fries at Palomino’s Italian restaurant in Ingliston before playing his latest set, ahead of Marvin Humes daytime DJ set with food at Ingliston on November 10.

He said: “I’m staying overnight, so I’ll wake up for a bit of breakfast then I’m on my way. We’re in a Lodge. I love staying here and we brought all the family up last time. Michelle loved it and so did her grandpa who came last time. He is good. It’s such an amazing place and it’s becoming a second home.”

And Mark whose DJ set follows on from an appearance by Take That’s Howard Donald couldn’t resist a cheeky swipe at his fellow DJs. He laughed: “I’m DJing in between Howard Donald and Marvin Humes. What’s the best thing about a sandwich? It is the filling. Howard can be the granary bread, Marvin can be the gluten free bread and I’m the cheese, ham, coleslaw and everything else.”

Tickets for Marvin Humes DJ appearance from 2pm-9pm November 10 are available here.
