Mark Wright has revealed that bad weather caused trees – previously estimated to have cost a whopping £30,000 – on his property to die.
Speaking this week, the former TOWIE star, 36, explained that ‘Christmas snow’ meant the trees stopped growing and added that he’d initially planted them to grant his grounds privacy.
Mark and his wife Michelle Keegan’s sprawling property is located in Essex and is estimated to boast an eye-watering value of £3.5million.
Speaking on Heart Radio this week, Mark said he was ‘devasted’ that the trees hadn’t grown as he’d spent ‘so long’ watching them.
‘It’s that kind of weather outside where you start thinking about planting your spring/summer plants. I had a little bit of a nightmare, I’m not gonna lie,’ the star explained.
According to MailOnline, he continued: ‘I planted some trees in my garden and they all died, and it’s devastating because I spent so long watching them thinking “please grow”.

‘They were my boundary trees to give me a little bit of privacy, and the company blamed it on the soil because obviously the wrong soil can make your plants go bad.
‘I ended up finding out they recommended the wrong plants to me, and it was because they’re not supposed to be out in the open in anything below minus five degrees and at Christmas time it was like minus 15 when it snowed.’

Back in 2021, the Mirror reported that Mark and 35-year-old Michelle had 60 trees from Tuscany delivered that cost between £500 and £1000 each, making their total cost £30,000.
Mark’s vegetation woes come after he spoke to Metro.co.uk about his eye for design after racking up more than 500,000 followers on his interiors Instagram, Wrighty Home.
