Mark Wright has revealed he was rushed to hospital in Las Vegas after hitting his head. 

The former TOWIE star, 37, was in America for a Formula One event on the weekend and revealed in a video on his flight back to the UK that he had been hospitalised. 

Showing off a giant scar on his forehead, he explained on Monday: ‘I’m coming home with a little scar – I fell in the bathroom.

‘I wasn’t drunk, it was the middle of the night and I was half asleep. I’m all good, absolutely fine and on my way home to see the wife.’

He concluded: ‘Now it’s home time, Christmas, and I can’t wait to see my loved ones.’ 

Mark also shared a post by Steve Weiser, the Las Vegas Bureau Chief at Extra TV, which featured snaps of himself in hospital.

Steve wrote: ‘Another @f1lasvegas in the books and this one left its mark @wrighty_

‘Nothing was gonna stop this guy from delivering the goods for @extratv and @vegas. Not even a visit to the ER and 30+ stitches ⛑️’

Mark previously worked as an entertainment correspondent with Extra TV but stepped down in 2019 to spend more time with his wife. 

He told The Sun at the time that it ‘feels like the right time’ for him to return home.
