And mischief maker Mark, 30, was keen to get one up on his 35-year-old cousin – not once, but twice on Saturday.

Sharing video on Instagram, Mark showed that Elliott was being doused with iced water as part of the groom-to-be celebrations.

One video showed Elliott chatting to some of his friends while blissfully unaware he was about to be pranked.

Presumably with Mark filming, we see a number of men preparing a bucket full of ice and water which is then thrown over the former TOWIE star.

A shocked Elliott then fails to find words, and just stands with the cold water dripping from him.

Mark captioned the moment: “The STAG @elliottwright_ GOT TO HAPPEN !! Many antics like this tomorrow night 9pm @itv2 THE GOSSIP”.

He then uploaded a second video – this time seemingly plugging his dating show spin off Take Me Out: The Gossip.

“At a stag do for my cousin Elliott Wright. Thinking about tomorrow night,” Mark begins – face in the camera.

“The only tv show to watch on ITV2 at 9pm is...” he continues – before flipping the camera screens to show Elliott and friends lined up to awkwardly announce: “Take me out the gossip! ITV2!”

However the public service announcement was nothing more than a ruse to distract Elliott’s attention while another man poured more freezing water on him.

Again Elliott can say nothing as the cold water drips from him – but the second stunt incurred some collateral damage as two other members of the group got soaked as well.

Mark captioned the second video: “The only tv show to watch tomo night is TAKE ME OUT THE GOSSIP @ITV2 Sorry @elliottwright_ #stag”.

It is unclear what kind of side splitting antics will be taking place off camera.

Elliott proposed to then-girlfriend Sadie Stuart - a self described singer-songwriter - last year after a ten month whirlwind romance.

The pair have hinted they will hold a lavish wedding in the UK - with a second celebration in Spain where they reside.
