Television personality and singer Mark Wright has paid an emotional tribute to his beloved grandfather, Eddie, who passed away at the age of 92.

Jess Wright's brother shared a throwback photo with his grandfather on Instagram, vowing to continue making his "biggest supporter proud."

Mark wrote a lengthy caption under his post that read, “For 37 years that I have known you Grandad, I wondered and even asked you when I was a little boy numerous times ‘when do you think you will go to heaven’ I posed this question often, because I dreaded it so much.”

Mitchelle Keegan's husband added, “I’ve had messages from hundreds of people, some I haven’t seen in over 20 years. EVERY message has the same words written in some way. GENTLEMAN - KIND - LEGEND!! All these things you were and more.”

"You loved your family so much and your biggest success is how close we all are and how many of us there is."

Singing praises of his late grandfather, the Extra star continued, “You never got angry, you backed us no matter what, you never said no, even when I asked you to come on my stag do in Vegas at 83 (you still hold the record for the only person ever to order a cup of tea in a Vegas nightclub at 2am) If you told us off for being little shits growing up, you’d apologise.”

“Thank you grandad for everything. I’m so grateful I got to love you, be your mate, that you was my teacher, my boxing coach, my taxi driver, my idol, MY GRANDAD EDDIE you legend I LOVE YOU FOREVER,” he concluded by showing gratitude to his late grandad.

It is noteworthy to mention that Mark Wright’s paternal grandfather Eddie, who was a former champion boxer, was admitted to the hospital after a fall in 2024.
