GET WRIGHT
How Natalya Wright became a nepo-sibling despite swerving reality TV – with 20 trips a year & thousands in designer gear
We take a closer look at Natalya's life from luxury fashion lover to keen equestrian in our video above
WITH two famous siblings, Natalya Wright is a well-known face in the glitzy world of British reality TV.
Ever since her older brother and sister, Mark and Jessica Wright, appeared on the hit show The Only Way Is Essex, Natalya lives a life many can only dream of.

Natalya even refused to be seen on the show with her once 'ordinary' Essex family - which propelled mum Carol, dad Mark and Nanny Pet to fame overnight.
Natalya is arguably a 'nepo sibling', the term used to describe someone whose successes could be down to their bloodline rather than based on their talent alone.
Judging by her lavish lifestyle which includes dream trips to the Maldives and Mykonos, she's certainly a girl who has learnt how to do things just 'Wright'.
Natalya has more than 350k followers on Instagram, yet she still hasn't set foot on TV apart from showing her brother support in the crowd when he appeared on Strictly Come Dancing.

She makes sure to be seen with her siblings, a savvy career move to let people know the circles she runs in.
Whether on the red carpet for Mark's ambassador role for Matalan or snapping holiday shots with the whole crew, Natalya keeps herself relevant by taking control of her social media presence.
It raises the question - would she have been able to forge a career by now if it wasn't for her famous clan?
The only way is up
While her family made their names on TOWIE, Natalya was still in primary school and kept away from the camera - and although she was asked to come on the set as she got older, she refused.

"I wouldn’t mind being famous but not for appearing on reality TV, maybe for modelling or acting."
Despite confirming she didn’t want to follow her family's path, her connections and their stardom arguably opened doors for her.
British beauty
Aged just 16, Natalya secured a modelling deal with top modelling agency Select Model Management and began a career travelling the world for photo shoots.
As she got older, she embraced her love of luxury fashion, posting regularly in brands such as Gucci, Chanel and Fendi.
Followers soon cottoned on and the number soon shot up to over 350k - meaning she can now show off her impeccable style and get paid to do it.
The savvy nepo sibling has combined her love for travel, fashion and modelling to create the ultimate life.

Horsing about
While Natalya is usually spotted dressed to the nines, she loves spending time in the countryside with her horses.
She now owns three, Albi, Boo and Crème who she posts on her YouTube channel which is dedicated to her equestrian career, something only her hardcore fans would know about.
"My happy place is with you," she added on Instagram with a picture of her beloved horse.
According to horse experts at Equine Premium, the average yearly cost of owning a horse is around £9,000 - and that's not including the cost to buy one, let alone three.

The way isn't only Essex
While Natalya does her best not to talk about her star-studded family online, they seem to have a close bond.
She is often pictured with her mum and dad, her siblings and the family go away together regularly to reconnect and have some fun.
One holiday saw the entire family rent out a private villa in Mallorca to spend quality time together away from Essex.
Not only does Natalya show off her close-knit family, but she has also started to show off her boyfriend, Tommy, more on social media.
