What has he said about being on Celebrity Traitors?
He said: “I was thrilled to be asked to be honest with you. I'm a fan of the show. It's one of the few things that we watch as a family. It’s put together very well, and it's proved itself, in its popularity.
“I thought it'd be really exciting to be a part of the first celebrity version - an interesting challenge! If anything comes my way that scares me, I try to make sure I do it, and this is way out my comfort zone!”
On which role he wants to have in the castle, Mark added: “I think I want to be a Faithful. It's already difficult enough for my wee brain. I think that the added pressure of being a Traitor, just keeping that facade up the whole time, would be incredibly exhausting and quite stressful. I want to have fun.”
He continued: “I'm always playing characters that are kind of compromised or faulted in some way - they’re the most fun to play. We are all compromised or faulted in some way! They're the most interesting characters - the most human.”
