Mark Wright has apologised after sharing a post that was deemed insensitive in the wake of the Air India plane cr@sh. He’s since deleted the post and said in a statement on his Instagram Stories that it had been a “horrendous coincidence”.
Mark, 38, and Michelle Keegan, also 38, have been sharing content on Instagram from a holiday to Spain lately. The couple, who were joined by some of his family on the trip, took their three-month-old baby Palma abroad for the first time. They are understood to have already returned to the UK and earlier today Mark is said to have shared a photo of the trio in front of a private jet at an airport. He reportedly teased over having limited leg room on standard flights in the post.

The Heart radio host is said to have been met with a backlash over the post amid the news of the Air India flight, which went down shortly after take-off from Ahmedabad. It had been bound for Gatwick Airport in London.
Mark has since apologised for the “mistake,” telling fans that he had scheduled the post, which has now been deleted, in advance. He shared a statement on his Instagram Story, in which he said it had been a “horrendous coincidence”.
He wrote: “I apologise for a post I just put up on my page after today’s h3artbreaking events. I have posts from a holiday that are on the scheduled setting, which go out on future days I have set them for which was done last week.”
Mark continued the statement by saying that it was a “coincidence” that it had gone out on the same day as the Air India cr@sh. He told fans that as soon as he realised what had happened, he “immediately” deleted the post.
He added in the message to his followers this evening: “It’s a horrendous coincidence that today’s post was on such a d3v@stating day. Once I logged in to my Instagram and realised the post had gone out, I immediately deleted [it].”
The former TOWIE star concluded by expressing sympathy with anyone affected by the plane cr@sh. He wrote: “My heart goes out to everyone who has been effected from today. I’m sorry for this mistake and any offence caused.”

According to the Sun, Mark had teased over not having extra leg room on the flight home from his holiday with Michelle and their daughter in the post. Seemingly teasing over them not travelling on a private plane, he’s said to have written: “1 day babe, for now we’ll take row 26 with no extra leg room.”
The outlet reports that some of his followers were quick to question the post given the news of the Air India flight. One person is said to have responded to him: “Not really appropriate to put this up after today’s plane cr@sh.”
Another is quoted as having said: “Prob not the best day to post this when so many people l0st their lives on a plane.” Whilst a third person reportedly responded to Mark’s now-deleted post at the time: “Poor taste given today’s event.”
