"So! I’m home!" writes Michelle Wright (yup she's swapped over her name) in a newly-published blog post for Hello! magazine. 

"We have had the most wonderful honeymoon split between two very different destinations – the Maldives and Dubai."

And so begins our first official glimpse of her and her husband's glorious-looking getaway. 

The couple's first port of call was the Maldivian island of Maafushivaru – a resort the actress describes as "a stunning part of the world and so very private".

And while Mark, and less regularly Michelle, did occasionally placate our curiosity with sneak-peaks (including that amazing rear-view shot of the bride) during their incredible holiday, overall fans could but wonder the answers to important questions such as: what on earth did M&M eat while they were away?

"For food we enjoyed lots of fresh fish and salads," Michelle now reveals, adding: "And of course, a bit of champagne to celebrate!"

While in the Indian Ocean they also did lots of "resting, sunbathing, exploring and eating". 

The 28-year furthermore explained that sadly she and her husband only stayed in "the beautiful Maldives" for "four-and-a-bit days". Your heart would bleed for them at times.

They then "left to go to the place where it all began for us – Dubai".

Despite the presence of their families in the UAE raising eyebrows (after all, who brings their mammy and daddy along on their honeymoon?) Michelle describes their visit as "such a treat".

"Mark and I, Mark’s brother (and best man at our wedding) Josh, and his girlfriend Hollie went out a couple of times for dinner," she explains.

Michelle turned 28 while in Dubai, and she assures her fans that her beau "made it so very special for me".

For an outing at Nobu – their favourite restaurant – the Manchester-native wore a stunning blue and yellow full-length BCBG dress. "It is one of my fave buys this season," she says.

"I love the feminine shape and the colours look great with a tan."

So that's it! Back to work and back to reality for the love-birds: the wedding is over; the is honeymoon done-and-dusted. Bikinis have been packed away and the tans have slowly begun to fade. 

Thanks for memories, Michelle and Mark!

 

PS… Michelle's honeymoon beauty secrets:

  • She took Unite's 7-second conditioning hair product with her and used it throughout her honeymoon on her locks. "Every time I washed my hair I towel-dried it then sprayed the product on liberally – I also use it round the pool, as it stops your hair from drying out in the sun and the sea salt, and smells really good."
  • Windle and Moodie's 'fortifying spray' also got the Keegan seal-of-approval. "It is for adding volume to an updo on holiday. If you can’t be bothered with taking hours to blow-dry your hair or curling it."
  • She says she uses a factor 25/30 during the day, before slapping "on loads of aftersun from Boots" – she keeps it in the fridge in the hotel room so it’s lovely and cool on her skin.
  • Finally, Mrs Wright used her favourite Garnier summer body product "because it’s the perfect way of maintaining a holiday glow – I just mix it in with a dollop of aftersun, and then when I am back in the UK, I keep the glow up by applying a small amount after a shower. Once every few days is enough and it keeps your tan golden."

He and his wife returned from honeymoon earlier this week, having spent two blissful weeks in the Maldives and Dubai. 

But Mark Wright, it seems, remains eager to relive some of their best moments from the trip.

Taking to his Instagram page this morning, he posted a picture of the love-birds scuba-diving in the UAE, where they stayed at the swish Atlantis The Palms hotel.

Alluding the the large hammerhead shark swimming close-by, the 28-year-old reality TV star captioned the shot: "Now I know why the camera man stopped us turning around!!" He added: "We never knew."

Although Michelle, also 28, was largely quiet on social media for the duration of the trip, she did hint that was still able to enjoy a little down-time upon their arrival back.

Taken at home in Essex, where they bought their "dream home" a little less than a year ago, she posting an image to her own Instagram account of her running a luxurious rose-petal bathtub.

 

A sea of petals.

Last summer, the actress explained of their love-nest: "It's gorgeous. We're been searching for such a long time. We pulled out of two houses because we didn't like one and then another was in the wrong area so it was panic, panic. 

"Then one day we were driving past this house, and as soon as we walked in we knew. It's a new build. It's my dream home."

Mark also shared a snap of their spare room – which was opulently decked out in plush gold and cream hues.

Somewhat controversially, the duo were joined during the latter stages of their post-wedding day holiday by their families: his parents, his brother, and her mum all jetted out to the Middle East to meet up with the newlyweds.

Thank you Mark Wright and Michelle Keegan!

From their incredible €1.4m wedding in Suffolk on May 24, to last night's last night-out in Dubai – they've thrown us sneak-peaks and snap-shots of their brand new, fabulous life as husband and wife. 

Here, and for your viewing pleasure, we’ve gathered all the couples’s divine snaps from their incredible honeymoon getaways to the paradise Indian Ocean island of The Maldives, and latterly, to the luxurious Middle Eastern city of Dubai.

Fair warning though: its pretty envy inducing…

 

Starting off in The Maldives, they stayed on the island of Maafushivaru. There the couple wasted no time indulging in some rest and relaxation. Mark shared the now practically famous photo of his new wife looking out at the crystal blue ocean and proudly captioned the shot with the hashtag #mrswright.

Saying he was “buzzing” for the journey ahead he shared another picture of the stunning island at sunset.

The couple also downed shots by the pool – to show their fans, no doubt, that they were having plenty of fun, as well as gazing lovingly into each other's eyes.

Up next, the duo made their way to Dubai. There, the former Towie star and his actress wife stayed at the luxury resort Atlantis The Palm. How luxury, you ask? Well, the underwater Atlantis room costs €7,200 a night. Fancy!

The couple would have enjoyed unlimited use of the resort's famed Aquaventure water park. Not only that, but they would have been given exclusive access to VIP private pool and beach areas. All part of their posh honeymoon package, natch. The 28-year-olds aren’t the only ones to share a room with stingrays, either: fellow celeb Khloe Kardashian is reported to have stayed in the very same spectacular room.

While in Dubai, Michelle took the opportunity to model some of the pieces from her successful Lipsy collection. Keeping with the bridal theme, the newlywed looked stunning in a white maxi with gold accessories. 

The pair seemed to have loved their lavish hotel stay as Mark admitted he was even tempted to stay in and chill with the fishes instead of heading out for a party. In the end, however, the glamorous pair ditched the plush looking duvets (we won't mention the mess) and took themselves out for the night, looking effortlessly stylish of course. 

Mark reminded us all that the twosome aren't ones to "mess about" when he posted this cheeky photo of that evening's beverages. 

It wasn’t just tables for two though: the final days of their luxury get away saw the extended family join in the festivities. Hey, each to their own, we say. 

The whole squad made the most of one of the best water parks in the world. Also, check out Michelle's hair. Flawless even mid-slide. #welljel

It was one big happy family wearing smiles all around as the group posed for photos on the last night of the trip.

Mark's parents and his brother Josh joined the couple. Josh's long-term girlfriend, Hollie Kane, was also invited along for the trip. Lucky girl!

Clearly, the couple had a fabulous trip and their occasional photo-sharing had us all feeling like sun-kissed newlyweds by the end of it all. Well… almost.

Mark Wright took just about everyone aback in the early hours of this morning.

Taking to Twitter following a night out in Dubai, where he is enjoying the last moments of his honeymoon, he launched a scathing attack on his former fiancee, Lauren Goodger.

"It's hurtful to think one person needs to mention YOU every week to earn a living," he Tweeted: "If your reading this, please PLEASE respect my wife and STOP. Everyone has a past, get over it!!"

He concluded with: "I'm sure there is other ways to make money."

And considering Lauren has never been one to hold back and keep quiet, we've been waiting for her inevitable response ever since.

“Mark is right – this situation is incredibly embarrassing," a statement just released by her rep read. "Week after week Lauren has to suffer endless source story lies printed about her in the press surrounding Mark.

"The list is as long as it is ridiculous.

“It’s hurtful for Lauren to constantly be painted in this way," the statement continued.

Her rep also cited the reports of her attempting to gate-crash Mark and Michelle's wedding as "ludicrous".

Interestingly, the rep states that Lauren is actually "privately" with a new man: “Lauren has privately been in a relationship too and this unwanted attention surrounding her ex of many years ago is certainly not welcomed."

The statement concludes with: “She once again wishes them nothing but the best.”

Seems rather lady-like and civil – but are you #teamMark or #teamLauren?

Wowsers!! On his last night on honeymoon, newlywed Mark Wright has lashed out at his former fiancee, Lauren Goodger.

​The reality TV star and his wife of two weeks, actress Michelle Keegan, have been sunning themselves in The Maldives, and latterly in Dubai, where they remain now.

But following a final night-out in the Middle Eastern city, 28-year-old Mark couldn't help taking to social-media for a rant.

He said the "endless mentions" of him and his new love were "embarrassing" for Lauren and further revealed that lawyers have become involved in the situation.

He added: "It's hurtful to think one person needs to mention YOU every week to earn a living," before tweeting: "If your reading this, please PLEASE respect my wife and STOP. Everyone has a past, get over it!!"

He concluded with: "I'm sure there is other ways to make money."

Don't hold back, Mark!

Lauren and Mark dated on-and-off for more than a decade, and were even engaged for a period of time.

However, within six months of their 2012 split he met Michelle – and evidently was smitten. He popped the question within nine months, and they married in a lavish €1.4m ceremony in Suffolk late last month.

It is suspected that a picture Lauren posted to Instagram may have sparked her former love-interest's anger. In the shot, which she has entitled, "Dubai my holidays," complete with a double-heart emoji, she is seen holding a glass of champagne having tucked-in to a lobster feast. Interestingly, just six hours later, Mark began his tirade.

 

Dubai my holidays

Following his late-night outpouring, Essex-native Mark made sure to re-Tweet messages of support from his fans. One said: "Actually about time you did write something Mark! Good on you."

Another stated: "Very well said Mark – why can't she just leave you and your lovely wife alone and move on.

Although, a third fan highlighted: "Don't give her the attention & publicity she craves, leave lawyers to deal with it. Congratulations on your wedding xx"

Ms Goodger raised eyebrows when she posted a cryptic message to her Instagram account just 48hours before Michelle walked up the aisle.

In it she wrote: "She's the kind of girl a guy meets when he's too young, and he f***s up because there's too much living to do. But later he realises she's perfect."

However, since Mark's incredible late-night revelations, she has so far remained silent on social media.

Their honeymoon has seen them make breathtaking visits to the idyllic Indian Ocean nation of The Maldvies, as well as the busy city of Dubai in the UAE.

However, few would argue that their two weeks away is anything less than thoroughly well-deserved: after all, loved-up Mark Wright and Michelle Keegan dealt admirably with all the interest and speculation that surrounded their €1.4m wedding celebrations. 

Still, it seems that the duo were also happy to break the ultimate newlywed taboo… by inviting their families along with them on the latter leg of their honeymoon.

Seen in a short video clip posted to Mark's Instagram account are his mum, Carol, and dad, Mark Snr. Also on board is his brother, Josh, as well as Michelle's mum, Jacqueline.

 

What a ride yesterday !! When the family joined the last couple of days of the honeymoon fun !! #lovedit

The bride herself can be briefly seen the same clip giving a peace-sign to the camera.

It was taken on a ride at the water-park at the stunning Atlantis, the Palm Hotel, where the entire Keegan-Wright gang are staying. Onlookers there have reported spotting the families hang-out by the pool together.

Nevertheless, it seems that as their trip comes to a close, the reality TV star and his actress wife may have finally found some alone time. After debating whether to go out tonight in Dubai, the pair decided to hit the town – duly lining up two shot glasses in their bar of choice.

Mark also posted a clear shot of his left-hand for the first time, showing off his thick gold wedding band to full effect.

They jetted off to the Maldives two weeks ago, staying at the swish luxury paradise island resort of Maafushivaru.

They later moved on to Dubai – the city where they first met, and where Mark popped the question after just nine months of dating. 

But now, the honeymoon is – literally – over for newlyweds Mark Wright and Michelle Keegan: the pair will jet back to England today.

Following their stunning €1.4m wedding, which was held in a 16th-century manor in Suffolk, the pair have, as evident by their deep tans, enjoyed two weeks of sun-drenched bliss.

Mark took to Instagram last night to post one last shot from their jaunt – in front of the famed Burj Al Arab hotel.

Mark can be seen in a crisp white shirt and matching white trousers, while Michelle has opted for a black strapless crop-top and a white skirt. She has accessorised her look with gold hoop earrings. 

"Last night of an incredible 2 weeks!! #honeymoon," Mark said in his caption.

At Maafushivaru, the lovebirds stayed in a traditional water villa, which sit on stilts over the lagoon and boasts direct access to the sea below. The resort has has a stunning infinity pool, chic cocktail bar and exceptional restaurants.

She's been remarkably quiet on her otherwise busy social-media profiles for the last number of weeks.

Yes, while her new husband Mark Wright has kept fans up-to-date with occasional, sneak-peaks of their glamorous honeymoon, Michelle Keegan has opted to give her online self a time-out.

Until now, that is.

Taking to Instagram for the first time in close-to a month, the actress posted a stunning image. In it she dons a long, white dress – an item which came from her own Lispy clothing line. She captioned it: "Arabian nights."

She accessorised her look with gold jewellery, a statement gold clutch bag, and metallic flat sandals. 

She can also been seen sporting a deep tan – the result, no doubt, of her honeymoon: the happy couple first visited the Indian Ocean nation of the Maldives, before next heading to Dubai, where they currently remain.

The pair, who are both 28, married in a beautiful ceremony in Suffolk two weeks ago. They had been dating for two-and-a-half years prior to their marriage.

Michelle's Lipsy clothing line has been a huge success since her debut collection launched a year ago. The white maxi dress she is currently wearing in Dubai is made from a soft-touch stretch fabric and has a semi-sheer finish.

Boasting a flattering crew neckline and a back slit, it is priced at €96.

So by the sounds of things, newlyweds Mark Wright and Michelle Keegan have gone down a treat with fellow holidaymakers in Dubai!

The star couple, who jetted off on their honeymoon following their high-profile wedding ceremony last month, have apparently charmed fellow hotel guests, many of whom have been quick to take to Twitter to pay tribute to the gorgeous couple.

It seems the overjoyed newlyweds were only to happy to pose for photos and chat with guests, all of whom were eager to wish the pair much happiness following their encounters.

Taking to Twitter to congratulate the happy pair, one user wrote: "Have to compliment @MarkWright_@michkeegan bumped into them in a lift in Dubai with a 7yr old. Lovely couple. Congrats to u both x"

As well as taking the time to chit-chat in a lift, the Coronation Street star and her new husband happily posed alongside a delighted holidaymaker who also swiftly took to Twitter to praise the pair.

Uploading a shot of the happy couple, the thrilled Twitter user wrote: "Happy Honeymooners @michkeegan & @MarkWright- Such beautiful people, Have a great time in sunny Dubai! Happy bday too!"

Aw, how genuinely sweet do they sound?!

She sparked waves of envy when her new husband posted a stunning bikini-clad image of her to Instagram.

Honeymooning in the Maldives, Michelle Keegan’s tiny waist and toned bum were on full display.

Certainly, there could be no doubt that the actress’s pre-wedding fitness regime had really paid off.

However, it seems that some fans were less than impressed – calling the 28-year-old out for being too thin.

Indeed, the star took to Facebook to express her anger at the insinuation.

In the post, which has now been deleted, she said: “Calling me ‘anorexic’ and ‘too skinny’ is just as bad as someone being called ‘fat’ and ‘obese,'" she wrote. 

She also insists that despite her incredible body, she doesn't diet. 

“I personally do not believe in dieting… and think that you should just eat everything in moderation.

“For example if I have an unhealthy lunch, I’ll have a healthy dinner and vice versa.”

She furthermore revealed that she ate three burgers this weekend, although she did highlight that ordinarily, she makes sure she gets to the gym three times a week. 

Previously, E! News presenter Giuliana Ranic has also spoken about the criticism she faces for her size 6 figure. In March, she said she’s “sick of being bullied” over her appearance.

And actress Tara Reid has declared: “I’m just a small-boned girl. I eat, I eat, I eat. Some people that eat too much, you yell at them that they’re fat.

"You want to get mad at me because I’m skinny? Great, get mad at me. I am what I am.”

It's a double celebration for Michelle Keegan today, who is not only toasting to her recent marriage to Mark Wright, but also to her birthday.

The brunette beauty turns 28 today, and is no doubt making the most of her big day while on honeymoon in Mauritius.

While we wait for our invite to her birthday bash, we've decided to take a look back at some of the new Mrs. Wright's best and worst style moments.

From her incredible custom-designed wedding gown to THAT wrinkled BAFTA dress, let's take a look…

The Best

1. Her top-secret wedding dress
Michelle's backless fishtail dress was a design collaboration between the actress herself and Israeli atelier Galia Lahav. We have to say, it was the perfect choice for her big day.

 

2. Her best red carpet look
The former Coronation Street star might have lost out on an award at last year's National Television Awards, but her bespoke Philip Armstrong dress stole the show on the night. Loving the mint green.

 

3. This classic LFW outfit
Showing she can work elegant, understated chic with the best of them, Michelle glowed in this form-fitting dress at the Julien Macdonald London Fashion Week show back in February. Teamed with a pair of Sophia Webster heels, it was an incredibly well put-together look.

 

4. An honourable mention
Much as Michelle can wow on the red carpet, it's her bikini body that has us seriously envious. If we could just look HALF as good as that in a white bikini we'd be eternally grateful.

 

The Worst

1. The BAFTAs disaster
This dress might have looked beautiful when she first tried it on, but unfortunately poor Michelle was upstaged by some serious wrinkles on the night. Awkward.

 

2. Her sailor girl look
There's no denying the actress has the body to pull off most looks, but this button-up white dress wouldn't look out of place in Coppers.

 

3. Boho chic
Ah, the chunky waist belt. A style mistake most of us would rather forget.

 

4. A military no-no
Again with the waist belt. This khaki jumpsuit may have been a good idea in theory, but is that a ruched ankle we see?!

Since tying the knot in England just over a week ago, Mark Wright and Michelle Keegan have been enjoying life as newlyweds with what looks like a pretty incredible honeymoon.

Although their original plans of a holiday to Mauritius were reportedly ruined by torrential rains, the couple managed to book a last minute trip to the Maldives instead… and it looks like they made the right decision.

Over the last week we've been treated to a few peeks at Mark and Michelle's stay at the €400-a-night Maafushivaru resort, but today's Instagram post really had us wishing we were anywhere but our desks in rainy Ireland.

 

A video posted by Mark Wright (@wrighty_) on

Former TOWIE star Mark took to social media today to share a picture of himself and his new wife looking downright radiant as they enjoyed a cheeky poolside shot together.

Looking into the camera as he and Michelle held glasses of what looked like Jägermeister, Mark toasted to "shot o'clock" before the couple downed their drinks.

Although Mark finished his in one go, Michelle wasn't quite so successful, though she quickly regained her composure for the camera. If only we looked half that good when we were doing shots…

Showing they already have each other's backs, the video was captioned, "If I jump she jumps, if she jumps I jump #team #thewrights we start as we mean to go on." So cute.

As well as toasting to married life, the couple have also been spending time relaxing by the sea and enjoying the incredible views (of the ocean, we mean).

What a trip!
