Mark Wright has reportedly left ITV in the lurch after quitting their new show The Game last minute by text.Show bosses are reportedly fuming at the former TOWIE star's decision to drop his plans at the last hurdle.The fitness guru is believed to have informed ITV bosses of his decision by a text message where he claimed he was "too busy" to take part in the show.Mark, 35, had signed up for the new challenge earlier this year and is thought to have attended a fitness assessment on February 15 in Manchester for the programme.He was also joined by other co-stars which included Corrie's Colson Smith, before returning to London.It wasn't just his last-minute choice that irritated bosses, it is reportedly also now difficult to cut him out of the show as he was captured on-screen during some of the assessments during the day.An insider told The Sun that bosses were gobsmacked when he pulled out after the first day of filming.According to the source, they were even more confused as he appeared to be in great spirits on the day in Manchester but seemed to have had a change of heart the following morning.The source said: “Rather than call to explain what had happened he sent a text. It went down like a lead balloon.“Mark’s excuse was that he was basically going to be too busy to commit, which to some feels absolutely incredulous given he’d already committed to filming.“Those working on the show are furious as it’s become a nightmare.

parents and explained what they should do if their children go missing in a crowded place.Jess Martini, from the US, said it worked for her when she once lost her child in a public outing."First thing you want to do is dress your child in bright colours and if you are with a big group, try to dress your kid in bright colours similar to each other," the 31-year-old said."Also before you enter the place, you want to make sure to take a picture of your child of what they are wearing and make sure that picture include their shoes."The third tip is to have the parent's name and a contact number written somewhere inside the child's clothing as she explains it could be dangerous if a child abductor finds out the child's name."If your child goes missing, you want to start loudly looking for your child, so it's gonna look like this – 'I'm looking for a boy, age five, brown hair, Caucasian, red Nike T-shirt, black shorts, black shoes!' and you are going to keep repeating," Jess continued.She revealed that the trick can alert other parents to help looking for the child at the same time and potentially scare the abductor because of the commotion.Want to bring a little glamour to your life every day with all the most exciting real-life stories, fashion and even sex tips HOT off the press?Well, we've got you covered with our great new Hot Topics newsletter - it'll drop straight into your inbox around 7pm and you can unsubscribe whenever you like.And signing up now means you'll get a front row seat for our great new series inside the lives of the next generation of Daily Star Page 3 girls.You can sign up here - you won't regret it...This is not the first time Jess shares this life-changing hack as she mentioned that she's been getting

Richard Madeley has revealed that he was hit a lot by his dad during his childhood.On Wednesday's Good Morning Britain (February 23), the TV host debated the new law coming into Wales which aims to prevent parents from smacking their children.During the chat, Richard said: "When I was a little boy I was hit quite a lot by my dad, who I love very much and he was a great father, but I was hit quite a lot."It was typical of the day, we are talking about the 1960s. I was hit with a stick and reflecting on it now if it was outlawed then it wouldn't have broken the law."He then asked TV guest Rebecca Wilcox: "Is that one of the reasons with that knock-on effect, it would make parents them stop and think if this ban was introduced?"Rebecca is a journalist and daughter of Childline founder Miriam Wilcox.She then replied: "It's been proven if you make it illegal, it's a form of education, it's not about criminalising parents, but smacking has a negative impact on mental health all the way through childhood and adolescence."We need to evolve out of violence, you should not be smacking, discipline means teaching.
