Mark Wright films US TV pilot?

Ex-TOWIE star Mark Wright reportedly records a pilot episode for a new US TV show.

Former TOWIE star Mark Wright has reportedly filmed a pilot for a mystery new TV show in the US.

After leaving the ITV reality show, the 33-year-old enjoyed a two-year stint Stateside working as a roving reporter for the daily showbiz news programme Extra but returned to the UK last year and now has a presenting slot on Heart FM.

According to The Sun, Wright recorded a pilot for a US network last month and is now waiting to see whether it gets picked up to series.

"Mark is a natural in front of the camera and the American audience loved his cheeky persona and his Essex accent," a source told the newspaper.

"He was chosen to front a new pilot by a TV ­network in the US who are keen to see if they can get him back on screen.

"Obviously the dream would be to become as big as his pal James Corden, who landed his own chat show out there on CBS."

Wright will next be seen turning out for England in Soccer Aid, which airs tomorrow night on ITV.
