This Megan McKenna/Mark Wright throwback is EVERYTHING we needed and more.
For a brief moment, can we all forget about the fact that Mark Wright is now happily married to actress Michelle Keegan and think back to the time when he was Brentwood's dirtiest dawwwwwwg and cheated on Lauren Goodger 8171511561835 times a month.
Think James Lock and Mario Falcone are TOWIE's biggest players? No way. Mark Wright has always been Essex' biggest f*ckboy.
And whilst we deal with the fallout of TOWIE's latest ssssssshing drama, we'd like to present you with this frankly ICONIC #TBT from The Only Way Is Essexmas 2010.
Whilst holding auditions for Jess Wright's girlband 'Lola', band manager (lol) Mark is tasked with the job of finding the band a new member and is eager to find a 'fitty'. Nice.
And about half way through the frankly awful auditions, in strolls a very young Megan McKenna who wows the panel with her impeccable vocals. Obvs.
Clearly blindsided by her talent, Mark cheekily asks: "Do you have a boyfriend?"
Megan coyly replies 'no' before fleeing the stage. Little did we know that Megan was about to become one of the biggest reality stars to grace our screens. Even bigger than Mark bloody Wright.
Jess then says: "Mark, are you being serious?"
Those were the days.
