MARK Wright's dreams appeared to come true at once after he made it into the 2018 Oscars with his wife Michelle Keegan.

Former Towie star Mark was invited to cover the Oscars for US television show Extra but failed to hide his sheer excitement from fans.

While at the gala dinner, held in Hollywood, Mark took to Instagram and filmed a stream of clips of himself at the event.

The Essex-born star was not only joined by his wife Michelle - who didn't seem quite so 'enthusiastic' - but also her dad Micky.

Mark, who was dressed in a tux, told his 1.4 million followers: "Oscar gala, work and fun. @katyperry & @iamjamiefoxx onbthe stage later [sic]."

After sharing a snap of himself interviewing West Wing actress Allison Janney, who won Best Supporting Actress, Mark filmed a clip of himself tucking into dessert.

Shovelling the pudding into his mouth, he closed his eyes and nodded before exclaiming: "Oh yes."

Wife Michelle could then be seen putting her finger on her lips as if to tell him to be quiet.

Mark's night then got even better, as Jamie Foxx took to the stage and performed to the crowd.

Yelling at the camera, Mark squealed: "Ohhhh! Jamie Foxx is killing it right now!"

He totally threw himself into the song, as Michelle and her dad Micky looked on.

Mark continued to share more clips of himself shouting along to the music, while also encouraging Micky to dance, before showing his followers that Katy Perry was performing.

As she sang her hit Roar, Mark pointed to the stage and exclaimed: "Katy Perry lighting the room up tonight. Oi oi!

"What a night, Katy Perry nailed it!"

Mark has since Instagrammed SIX pictures of himself interviewing Jamie Foxx, writing: "Story telling with @iamjamiefoxxgreat night #Oscars #charitygala #work@extratv."

Having ditched his reality career, Mark jetted out to Los Angeles last year after landing a presenting gig with Extra TV.

The role has already seen him interview some of the world's biggest stars, including , Hugh Grant and Helen Mirren.

But his new job, coupled with wife Michelle's commitment to the BBC drama Our Girl, mean they have been forced to spend months apart from each other.

Speaking last week, however, Mark said he would give up his Hollywood dream if given the choice between that and his marriage.

In an interview with Good Morning Britain, he said: "If Michelle didn't like living here and she preferred life back home, I would go back.

"She would never say that, she wants me to conquer my dreams and I want her to conquer hers but marriage and my love life comes first."
