Dads Double Standard: Likes OnlyFans After Bikini Rant

Jess and Mark Wright's former star father Mark Sr. has been caught liking star Chelsea Ferguson's racy snaps.

The businessman, 69, was thrust into the spotlight last week when Jess, her mum Carol and sister Natalya spoke on their podcast Wright At Home about thong bikinis and how family patriarch, known as Big Mark, found the swimwear 'unsexy'. 

Chelsea, who was previously linked to , joined a slew of disgruntled users hitting out at the trio's 'degrading and hypocritical' remarks about other women before showing the 'like' on her images. 

In August 2024, Big Mark, who has been married for 42 years, liked a selfie of Chelsea, who is the founder of adult content site Admire Me, in a nude underwear set with a suspender belt and in August 2023, liked a bikini-clad snap. 

In her video, Chelsea shared a clip of the now-deleted podcast before cutting to a video of herself saying: 'I don't know if Big Mark Wright got the memo on this one guys because he loves my scantily-clad photos'.  

Jess and Carol, aged 40 and 65 respectively, joined youngest Wright child Natalya, 25, in discussing the swimwear - which they proclaimed to hate while Jess ordered women to 'put it away' and urged them to 'get more coverage'. 

The TOWIE star detailed her husband William Kemp's feelings, saying: 'Will cannot stand it. He says to me "I cannot understand how she thinks that's attractive". Put it away and leave something to the imagination. Who wants to see up their butts?'

In a move that stunned social media, Carol spoke about how her husband Mark told her he finds the look 'unsexy' after he saw holidaymakers wearing thong bikinis - a look TikTokers pointed out Jess used to wear. 

Soon after, Chelsea shared her video in which she pointed out Big Mark's like on her page and added a caption reading: 'Big mark wright does not agree girlies #JessWright #CarolWright #wrightpodcast #ThongGate'. 

Big Mark made cameo appearances on the ITV2 show, where Mark and Jess were original cast members from its 2010 inauguration, before the former left the following year after three seasons and the latter in 2016 after 16 seasons.   

Jess, Natalya and Carol launched Wright At Home in November last year and while the show has gained mild traction since its launch, the bikini discussion has stormed TikTok - despite the minds behind the Instagram page removing the clip.

The dicussion started with Jess stating: 'I can't stand how it's acceptable to walk around on the beach in a thong', to which Natalya said: 'Do you know what's worse, these girls who do wear them, fair enough if you're gonna wear them, at least if you're gonna bend over and put your towel over your bed, put a sarong on!' 

Carol joined the conversation: 'I really do think this is not sexy for men to look at'.

Jess then gave the insight of her husband's feelings, saying: 'Will cannot stand it. He says to me: "I cannot understand how she thinks that's attractive". Put it away and leave something to the imagination. Who wants to see up their butts'

Carol urged: 'Leave something to the imagination! It's not sexy', while Jess added: 'Please girls, wear bigger coverage bikini bottoms.'

The family matriarch then regaled a story from a holiday with her husband, who she revealed weighed in on the look of three women with varied figures.

She said: 'Me and daddy was walking along the promenade and there were three girls in front of us and they were all different shapes and sizes but they had their whole arses out and daddy was looking and he said: "It doesn't even look sexy"'.

Many social media users shared throwback images of Jess in barely-there bikinis - many of which showed much of her bottom due to the size of the swimwear.

Those raising the hypocrite line wrote: Did no one see Jess on Towie? She was always in this sort of bikini when it was pool parties etc xxx... 

'Literally. pot kettle black and all that xx...  one rule for everyone else and their own rules for them, double standards at its finest lol'. 

One image in particular arose, showing Jess at her 2021 hen do walking through an airport in a fringed skirt with mininiscule bottoms worn underneath. 

Upset arose at the prospect of women failing to support other women, with one TikTok user declaring they are not concerned with Will's opinion. 

They wrote: 'Its disgusting women still have to deal with other women tearing them down for their clothing choices...

'Jess hunny, I do NOT dress for your husband and I certainly dont want him imagining me naked. That is not why the baddies wear thong bikini's'. 

One video showed a pair of girls standing at the front of a boat with words over the top reading: 'Oh better change my whole summer wardrobe because Jess Wright's husband and Dad think it's unacceptable and unattractive xxx'.
