Mark, 35, told The Sun he was glad to be back in Blighty after tucking into supersized American portions in LA last week.

In an exclusive interview with The Sun, he said: "I definitely put some holiday weight on.

";I ate pizzas and burgers and corn dogs and buffalo wings. There is no way to not gain weight unless I am immortal.

"By the end of the week in LA I missed going to bed feeling healthy -Michelle and I ended up halving the meals in the end."

Mark, who runs his own fitness app Live Right, said he has been inspired and blown away by his pal James ‘Arg’ Argent’s 14 stone weight loss after he underwent a gastric sleeve op.

He continued: “Arg is doing so well, I am so proud of him. We do the odd training session together but he has done most of it on his own. 

“I saw him the other day and he is training hard and eating healthily. He is really enjoying his newfound healthy lifestyle.”

Mark and his ex-Coronation Street star spouse, 34, are currently back in Essex and living with Mark’s parents, Carol and Mark Snr, while their new dream home is being built nearby.

"Having dinner with my parents every night and a coffee with them in the morning has been a really special time.”
