Mark Wright has called out his wife Michelle Keegan for ‘always having the final say’ – and making a design gaffe in their Essex mega-mansion.
Speaking on Heart FM on Monday morning, the former TOWIE star, 37, who is set to celebrate his tenth wedding anniversary next year, explained that Michelle, 36, ‘has the final say on everything’, yet this caused issues recently.
The duo have spent the past few years transforming an Essex farmhouse into a sprawling mansion, which they have been documenting on their Wrighty Home Instagram page, with their new chandelier being the latest detail.
Mark explained that he had warned Michelle that her design for the lighting ‘just did not work’, yet she powered ahead with the design anyway, after which he was met with an onslaught of comments on Instagram about problems with the light.
After telling the story, he sent a message to Michelle, saying: ‘So yeah thanks Instagram for letting me know and thanks for letting me know that I was correct and it was the wrong chandelier… So Michelle, next time I’m picking the light!’

‘Now I don’t know about you, but in my household, my partner makes the final decision and has the final say on everything…
‘Even when saying “Mark what do you think? What you think of this colour?” I’m like “yeah, we should go for that one”…”well actually no, we’re going for that one”…
‘May as well just be quiet. But when it came to picking a chandelier in our house like the light in the middle of our hallway that drops from the third floor ceiling, she designed it and drew it and I was like “what is that”…
‘It’s just loads of like light bulbs just dropping from the ceiling and when she drew it and designed it with the amazing company I looked at it…
‘I was like “this just doesn’t work” and I really didn’t like it but I had no say as I said but we went for it we hung it and it looks amazing.’
‘As we sometimes do we post our house updates on our Instagram account and when we did that we showed the chandelier off and I can’t tell you how many comments I got that made me think why didn’t I think of this at the start?…
‘Basically, picture a light with loads and loads of hanging bulbs that are all different heights that you can’t get to because it’s hanging from the staircase in the middle. Yeah, that’s us and everybody underneath….

He described: ‘It’s just loads of like light bulbs just dropping from the ceiling and when she drew it and designed it with the amazing company I looked at it’
‘”How are you going to change those light bulbs” … it’s only new so one hasn’t gone yet. So I do not know what we’re going to do when one pops!…
‘So yeah thanks Instagram for letting me know and thanks for letting me know that I was correct and it was the wrong chandelier…
‘So Michelle, next time I’m picking the light!’
The initial Instagram post featured a before and after of the hall, featuring the chandelier, alongside the caption: ‘When we designed our house & first had visions, it was always the hall that everything was going to be built around…
‘We showed Chris @escalier_uk our dream sweeping staircase and we remember his words “I will bring that to life exactly” when we show you the CGI you will see how he did that from the structure to balustrades & the handrail, they absolutely nailed it!!

‘Then it was about choosing the centrepiece…. The chandelier, this had to be right. Michelle had a vision of golden raindrops falling from the sky, she wanted it to be more than just a hanging ceiling light but more of a piece of art…
‘We worked alongside @chantelle.lighting and created just that. The day we walked into the showroom to see the finished product (video to follow) we were absolutely blown away!!’
The comments mentioned by Mark, included followers penning: ‘Who’s going to clean them all?!… Stunning but what a ball ache when one of those bulbs blow!…
‘Absolutely beautiful! Well done to you both @michkeegan but good luck changing the bulbs in those… Beautiful but I don’t fancy changing one of those bulb’.
Fans pointed out the logistical issues of the lighting
