Last week Mark revealed he and wife were having a debate over the interior of the home.
Taking to their home account, which boasts 572,000 followers, he showed off the stunning doors leading into the dining area.
He said: “This has been a massive decision in this house - do we have doors here or not?
“I think it looks better and you can see all the way in.”
He explained that his actress wife Michelle would prefer to add doors, continuing: “Michelle’s point of view is that when you’re on the couch it feels more homely.”
Despite their disagreement, Mark was quick to agree with his wife after seeing the finished result, telling fans: "I think the missus, as always, was right on this one... that has literally changed the game."
Siding with Michelle, Mark’s sister Jess Wright commented: “Yes they’re unreal!”
