Mark Wright’s mother, Carol, has revealed that she sometimes holds back in her interactions with her daughter-in-law, Michelle Keegan. Despite this, Carol emphasized that she is not the stereotypical wicked mother-in-law.
During a conversation on the family podcast “Wright at Home,” Carol discussed her dynamic with Michelle, who recently became a mother. Jess Wright, Carol’s daughter, raised the topic after reading a listener’s letter expressing feelings of being treated like someone who “stole her son” whenever her mother-in-law visited.
Carol, aged 63, acknowledged the delicate balance in such relationships, noting that sons are cherished by their mothers, and a daughter-in-law can feel overwhelming to the family. She expressed her tendency to hold back to avoid overpowering the situation.
Refuting the notion of being an “evil mother-in-law,” Carol stressed that she always prioritizes her son’s happiness and would intervene if she felt his partner was not the right match. She described Michelle as the ideal partner for Mark, highlighting their compatibility and down-to-earth personalities.
Carol and Jess bid farewell to their reality TV days on TOWIE eight years ago, reflecting on the intense yet impactful experience. While acknowledging the show’s role in shaping their current endeavors, they maintain a fondness for the memories created during filming.
