Mark Wright panics as elderly dad faints during bungee jump in ‘one of scariest moments in his life’
MARK Wright was left panicked after his elderly dad fainted during a bungee jump in ‘one of the scariest moments of his life’.
The former Towie star and TV presenter, 36, has filmed a brand new programme.
He travelled the UK with his brother Joshua, 33, and father, Mark Wright Sr, 65.
The show has been dubbed A Wright Family Holiday and will hit screens in June.
However, Mark and his brother were left terrified when his dad fainted while taking part in a bungee jump.
It left the show’s crew scrambling – as they grabbed a defibrillator – and came to his rescue.
Recalling the moment, Mark said: “His body just went completely floppy and he didn’t say anything.”
He continued to Express.co.uk how he ‘didn’t know if he was going to be ok’.
“That was probably the most worrying moment of our lives because we were just stood there and were like, ‘Dad, Dad talk to us, talk to us’,” he added.
“We couldn’t help him because he was hanging on a rope and then he came round and it was OK. But that was a really worrying and scary moment.”
Meanwhile, Wright previously told The Sun how he was left ‘heartbroken’ at his dad’s ‘end of life confession’.
He recalled how his father was extremely ill with coronavirus – while his brother was going through a tough time.
Speaking candidly about his dad, Mark said: “When he was sick himself and when he lost his brother he was down and lacked confidence, he struggles to admit it now.
“He thought about the end of life at that point. He slowed down and lost that buzz he normally has.”
