MARK Wright and Michelle Keegan had a boozy Christmas as they were filmed going head-to-head in a festive drinking game.

Former Fun House TV presenter, Pat Sharp, 57, filmed the married couple showing off their competitive sides as they teamed up with friends and family members for a game of Flip Cup.

Pat shared a video of the game to his Instagram page, with the players having to down their drinks before successfully flipping a cup upside down onto the table.

Michelle and Mark, both 31, went head-to-head, with Michelle beating her husband and passing the cup along to her teammates - which included Mark's sisters, Jess Wright and Natalya Wright.

The opposing teams were obviously competitive as they shouted and cheered their fellow players on - with Michelle even being caught looking shocked when somebody dropped the C-bomb.

Former Towie star Mark flew back from his Los Angeles base to enjoy Christmas in the UK with his wife and family.

The star has carved a lucrative career for himself stateside as the host of NBC show Extra - even being papped rubbing shoulders with A-list celebrities at glitzy Hollywood premieres.

He and Michelle, who married in 2015, were forced into a long-distance relationship due to their differing work commitments - with Michelle remaining in the UK for her various acting and modelling jobs.

However, the brunette beauty has previously rubbished fans' concerns that they had split - insisting that she spends more time with her husband than they might realise.

She said at the time: "Mark sometimes comes home for a weekend and no one knows he’s even there.

"Over the years we’ve learned how to do that and I’ve definitely become more private."

The Sun Online recently revealed that Mark is mulling over moving back to England so that he can spend more time with Michelle.

A source told us: "Mark has asked to leave EXTRA in the USA, as he wants to return to the UK and be with Michelle.

"He is also hosting The Bachelor here next year, and has other UK TV offers which he can’t do if he stays at EXTRA.

"Mark has loved doing EXTRA for 15 months, but feels the time is right to move on.

"But he has a dilemma now, whether to stay and help the sale of the show to a new network or leave and return to the UK.

"He is awaiting permission to leave, but may have to stay until the show relaunches."

Earlier this year, Mark told The Sun Online how he was keen to start a family with Our Girl actress Michelle in the New Year.

Speaking in August, Mark told us: "We say we’re going to try [for a baby] every year but something comes up with work.

"So it’ll be Michelle filming in South Africa and then I got the job in Los Angeles – so we think, right, we’ll try next year.

"It’ll be around December or January, we’ll talk about it and we’ll go from there."
