WITH his perfect tan and "reem" smile, Mark Wright was every girl's dream man in Cleethorpes at the weekend.

Hundreds of adoring female fans were dressed to impress The Only Way Is Essex star at the Amishi nightclub.

    Entertainment reporter Lucy Greensmith meets Mark Wright from the Only Way Is Essex.

Girls queued around the club just to have a quick picture and to meet the handsome presenter of ITV2's Take Me Out: The Gossip.

When he walked onto the stage, wearing a tight, white T-shirt, he shouted: "The only way is Cleethorpes!"

And of course, fans screamed loudly in reply, leaning over barriers to touch their "Mr Wright".

"All you lovely ladies in Cleethorpes are fit," he said to audience, "And I'm single!"

Greeting Telegraph reporter Lucy Greensmith with a kiss and a hug, he said: "I'm not supposed to speak to the press, but for you, I will.

"I am very grateful for the response in Cleethorpes, and Amishi is a lovely club.

"I have received fantastic hospitality from everyone and I can't thank everyone enough.

"People are very friendly and made me feel very welcome, even though I am a long way from home.

"I want to thank everyone once again for coming to meet me, and I have to say, everyone has been so nice here.

"I'm going back home after this; it will be a long, tiring drive."

As reported, Mark postponed his original appearance in the resort last year because of filming commitments, but he was determined not to let fans down.

Super-fan Jess Fixter, 22, of Scartho, was nervous yet excited to meet the TV star.

"I love The Only Way Is Essex. I'm also a huge fan of Take Me Out: The Gossip – I think he's a really good presenter," she said.

"He's really fit and looked just as good in real life as he does on television.

"I was disappointed when he cancelled last year, so I've been looking forward to this night for ages.

"I thought I would go all embarrassed and bright red when I met him, and fortunately I didn't faint!"

Co-owner of Amishi, Graham Franklin, said: "Girls just go crazy for Mark Wright. They will do anything to try and see him, and they were following him around the club while he was being escorted by security guards.

"Mark is a really nice guy, and he was really genuine to chat with.

"I think he's one of the most popular stars with the ladies; it must be his looks and charm.

"I think it is important to make people's nights out more interesting, rather than just having a drink and a dance."

Did you meet him?

    “"Every girl's dream man"?!

    When did a lack of education become so impressive? At school, it makes sense. The bad boys who aren't paying attention for street credibility but as adults, how have we stooped to idolising absolute morons?!

    There seems to be no shame in having no knowledge about the world or lacking the ability to spell/form sentences (year 3 stuff!) yet here they are, parading about as 'celebritites'.

    Congratulations, you can't tell the difference between where, were and we're but can you show me where the fake tan is in Boots? Thought so...”

    “God what is wrong with TV today?i watched TOWIE once cos the wife was and could'nt believe the utter rubbish of it!! The acting is trash (I know people say its half acting half real too)what on earth is that about?lol 2012 TV at its best...NO better than BB if not worse,then you have the likes of Am a celeb,then pete and jordan...good grief should i go on? Xfactor has lost credibility as well as BGT...These programs are in no way aimed at educated people am pretty sure as I find them utterly slit wrist boring...The Voice UK is the only one i watch these days as its VERY entertaining...Am entitled to my opinion but seriously how is this dross going to encourage self asteem in people?(i dont have self esteem issues but know many who have and these programs are a humiliation to them)...As for Mark Wright?? Mark who?lol”

    “It's sad that there are so many talented musicians, performers, writers and dancers out there who see nothing for their hard work, while this chiselled half-wit rakes in cash by posing with drunkards. Somehow he has managed to make it into this poor excuse for a newspaper. I hate the world.”

    “What a waste of 2 minutes of my life that I'll never get back... Fit this fit that, will you daft girl's grow up, I do not get the Grimsby Telegraph to read this utter tripe, tonight I shall not buy the GT, this farce of a report has now lost my local newsagents business. Well done GT you're really doing the community proud!!

    In other news the 'Super-fan' Jess Fixter is reported to be a very close friend of Lucy Greensmith, what are the chance's of this great reporter randomly interviewing her friend which in turn gets her name into the GT, oh the dizzy heights...”
