Mark Wright has ruled out a potential reunion with his Only Way Is Essex co-star Lauren Goodger, claiming that she is "part of my past".

Lauren recently said in a magazine interview that she would always love Mark, while the tabloids speculated that the pair may have rekindled their relationship after they were spotted at the same club night.

But 25-year-old Mark, who is currently starring in his own ITV2 series Hollywood Nights, said that the press needed to move on from trying to reunite the couple: "I split up with her in August 2011, people need to realise that."
