Mark Wright has reportedly bagged himself his first movie role.

The former The Only Way Is Essex star has seen his fortunes rise since he completed his stint on I’m A Celebrity last year and insiders say that after his bit of TV presenting on ITV2′s Take Me Out spinoff, he tried out for a role in a new British gangster film.

Sources say he landed the role, which will see him playing the love interest for Kelly Brook, opposite stars such as Tamer Hassan and Danny Dyer.

A source told The Sun: “Mark is keen to get into acting and Cockney gangster films are right up his street.

“He loves The Business and Football Factory so it’s a dream for him to work with Danny and Tamar.

“Add Kelly into the mix, he’s made up.”

It is expected that Wright will start work on the movie later this year.

As well as his recent presenting role, Mark also acted as a health expert for the ITV Breakfast programme Daybreak for a two week stint from 9 January 2012. He recently revealed that he is also writing his own book, which will give advice on dating and relationships.

Sources say the former nightclub promoter recently made his first million….not bad for a numpty!
