Balls-y Mark Wright

Mark Wright is always getting his "balls grabbed" by women who fancy him.

The 'Only Way is Essex' star - who recently split from short-term girlfriend Kayla Collins when she returned to her home in the US to look after her ill cat - admits his life has changed since he has appeared on the ITV2 show and he now has a lot more attention from women.

Asked about being propositioned, he said: "Anyone who's famous does, don't they? I don't think it's because I'm a good looking lad, it's more that I'm in the public eye and on TV.

"I've had a couple of girls cry. Then there's the girls that come over and say, 'I'd like to take you home tonight,' and then grab my balls."

However, the 24-year-old hunk has had more trouble with men, who have dished out cruel jijbes about his new found celebrity status.

Mark explained: "Do I get bad vibes off other blokes? Of course. You just turn a blind eye to it.

"When you're not in the public eye you can have an argument back maybe but, you know, I've been on a hit TV show so it's kind of hard to do that."
