After a few weeks away lapping up the sunshine and filming his new reality TV show in Hollywood, California, Mark Wright has returned to British shores.
The dapper gent wasted no time in finding his feet and getting back to his old ways by heading straight to his favourite Essex nightclub, last night.
Following his night out, the 25-year-old looked in good shape as he appeared on This Morning, earlier today, and spoke about how his new holiday romance.
A bit of all Wright: Former TOWIE star Mark has returned to the UK and appeared on This Morning after partying last night in Essex
Mark dropped in to popular hangout Faces, in Essex, but didn't stay out too long because of his appearance on TV in the morning.
He tweeted: 'I'm being good. On the way home 2 my bed 4 the 1st time in 6weeks. Faces was great as per usual but I'm on this morning 2mo so have 2 b good.'
When he appeared on This Morning today, Mark spoke publicly for the first time about his relationship with Chelsea describing her as 'great'.
All dressed up: Mark looked dapper today but was more casual last night when he headed to Faces nightclub
He said: 'It's a difficult one because she's got so many commitments out there, but we met, we had fun, but it was never meant to be like that.
'She's great, we got on so well. We started out as friends but then it developed into something else.'
The thing that Mark liked about his new girlfriend the most was that she had no idea who he was or why he was famous.
He said: 'She liked me for me because she didn't have a clue who I was.'
Time to say goodbye: Mark Wright and Chelsea Rashoff say a tearful farewell at LAX airport yesterday
Mark hooked up with the U.S volleyball player while filming Mark Wright's Hollywood Nights, and the casual friendship developed into something more serious rather quickly.
The reality TV star was seen saying goodbye to Chelsea at LAX airport yesterday and looked very sad to be leaving her.
The ITV2 show didn't exactly receive great reviews when it aired for the first time last Sunday but viewers may be eager to tune in this weekend as the second episode will include how Mark and Chelsea first met.
Hard to let go: The former TOWIE star gave the 22-year-old a big hug and also kissed her
Their romance is clearly more than just an onscreen film, as the pair of them appeared to be tearful as they said farewell outside the airport terminal.
Outside LAX, Mark - who was wearing blue skinny jeans and a white T-shirt - was seen hugging Chelsea and kissing her as she flung her arms around his neck.
She was also wearing dark jeans and a white T-shirt and gazed at the Essex-born star as he prepared to catch his flight back to the UK.
The pair have obviously become quite close over the past six weeks, and perhaps Mark is considering letting Chelsea visit his hometown some time soon.

Alleged hacker Ryan Cleary to be tried in UK not US - Daily Telegraph
American officials have demanded that he is tried in the US despite ongoing wrangling between legal and medical experts about whether or not the 46-year-old would pose a suicide risk.
Theresa May, the Home Secretary, is expected to make a decision about whether to allow extradition by the end of July.
Cleary, the son of a college lecturer from Wickford, Essex, is alleged to have been a member of a hacking group called LulzSec and was charged with five offences under the Criminal Law Act and Computer Misuse Act, including an attack on the website of the Serious Organised Crime Agency.
He is accused of conspiring with three others to create a remotely-controlled network of zombie computers, known as a "botnet", which crashes websites.
Miss Todner, who also represents McKinnon, said that the decision to prosecute him in the UK was the right one and proof that it could be done.
“Cleary has always co-operated with British police on the basis that he would not be extradited,” she said.
“It is the proper application of law and shows that it is possible to prosecute here, so why isn’t it the same for McKinnon?
“British police arrested and interviewed McKinnon but then just decided to hand it over to the US.”
Miss Todner said no decision had been made about whether Cleary would deny or accept the charges but said that if any application was made for his extradition it would be “fiercely” contested.
"Mr Cleary suffers from Asperger's syndrome and is on the autistic spectrum and extradition to the United States is totally undesirable,” she added.
A US embassy spokesman said: “The US is not making any request of the UK regarding Ryan Cleary’s extradition at this time.”
The spokesman added: "No legal medical documentation or evidence has been officially presented to us to suggest that Mr McKinnon has a medical condition that should be taken into consideration in our request for his extradition."
Janis Sharp, McKinnon's mother, insisted he had been subjected to tests by five separate medical experts, all of whom were "supposed to be independent" and whom had diagnosed Asperger's and that he was a suicide risk and was unfit to stand trial in the US.

Hospital bed murderer jailed for killing wife and mother-in-law - Daily Telegraph
"The attack on your ex-wife was pitiless. I'm satisfied that you were prepared to use extreme violence to get your revenge.
"You inflicted savage injuries on her in anger by stabbing and slashing her with the knife you had bought for the purpose.
"Not content with doing that, you then ran to Leamouth Road and finding Antonina Belska there, you killed her too."
Twelve days after the murders, Zolotovsky tried to commit suicide by throwing himself from a prison landing and was paralysed from the waist down.
This meant that, in what is thought to be a legal first, he was allowed to appear at the Old Bailey in a hospital bed.
A jury took just over half an hour to convict him of the double murder in March.
Today, prosecutor Zoe Johnson QC read a victim impact statement from Ms Zolotovska's brother and Mrs Belska's son Cheslav Belsky.
He said the family had suffered "indescribable grief" when they heard their relatives had been murdered "in the most horrific and merciless way".
"I don't know how I can describe my feelings accurately. I can only say they were feelings of abject horror, numbing shock and complete disbelief at such brutal and barbaric murders," the statement added.
"My father was completely destroyed by the news, he became entirely overcome by shock, stress and grief.
"The cruel and merciless murder at the hands of the former husband extinguished the lives of our loved ones, our precious and closest relatives.
"Nobody and nothing will possibly return them to us."
In mitigation, the court heard that Zolotovsky was angered that he was ordered to sign the marital home over to his ex-wife, whom he wrongly believed had been unfaithful.
Zolotovsky lay in his bed in the well of the court flanked by a nurse and an interpreter, showing little visible emotion.
Charles Bott QC, defending, said: "This was clearly a grotesque episode of destructive behaviour which had a specific and, as we saw in the trial, a clearly identifiable cause.
"What he could not live with was his own sense of injustice at the outcome of a court hearing two days before these offences.
"What he has done for lamentable reasons is to destroy three lives, including his own."

Russell Brand Talks Divorce From Katy Perry - Huffington Post
Russell Brand has made no secret of the fact that he still holds a special place in his heart for Katy Perry.
Just a month after admitting to Ellen DeGeneres that he still loves his ex-wife "as a human being," Brand again opened up about the popstar, whom he was married to for 14 months.
"[The marriage] did work out in a way, because you are married for some time, and that’s really good, and then you're not married, and that’s really good," Brand told UK talk show host Lorraine Kelly earlier this week. "You just have to have acceptance of things. She's a person I love but this is a new time."
The funny man also revealed the hardest part about the divorce process: the paperwork.
"Divorce is difficult because of the admin. A lot of admin!" he joked to Kelly.
Brand's zen-like attitude isn't all that surprising, given that he and Perry had a reportedly amicable split. When the divorce was finalized in February, Perry reportedly signed the divorce docs with a smiley face. Brand requested no money from his former wife, though he may have been entitled to half of what the popstar had earned during their marriage because the pair had no prenup. The 37-year-old comedian also reportedly gave Perry rights to the $6.5 million home they bought while married.
Click through the slideshow below to see other celebs who -- like Perry -- got the house after their split.

TOWIE's Sam and Joey's alone time - Belfast Telegraph
Friday, 15 June 2012
The TOWIE model admitted it was hard being in a relationship that was played out on television but she said they now worked hard to spend quality time together away from the show, since rekindling their romance.
Sam said: "Me and Joey have been absolutely great. When we were together before, it was rushed and we didn't really make time for ourselves and our personal life. And this time TOWIE is TOWIE and the celebrity lifestyle, but when we get time together we just relax and we sit in and watch films.
"I think you need that in your relationship, because our lifestyles are so hectic, it's nice to actually sit down and relax with each other.
"Sometimes you feel under pressure, and other times it's fine. I think we're both looking forward to a nice holiday this year, just the two of us."
The reality TV star, who has released her autobiography, Living Life The Essex Way, also confessed it was tough having their arguments aired on TV for everyone to watch, but she had come to accept it was part of the job.
She said: "Some things like that you think 'I wish I could just deal with this myself with him'. But if it's out there it needs to be spoken about on the show otherwise it would look weird to the viewers. They'd think, 'Why are they all happy, what about them pictures we saw?', so you do have to play it out.
"Sometimes I wish some things could be kept between you both, but it has to be played out, because it's our lives and that's what we're on the show for."
She added: "It's hard to watch it back and hear myself shouting!"
