He tied the knot with TV beauty Michelle Keegan in a lavish ceremony last month.

And Mark Wright certainly looked as though he had a newlywed glow about him as he celebrated the launch of his self-titled new his and hers fragrances at Bluewater Shopping Centre in his native Essex on Tuesday morning.

The 28-year-old TV presenter looked proud as punch as he displayed his silver wedding band for all to see while posing for a series of promotional snaps.

Newlywed glow: Mark Wright looked proud as punch as he displayed his silver wedding band for all to seeat the launch of his self-titled new fragrances at Bluewater Shopping Centre in his native Essex on Tuesday

Pulling his best cheesy grin as he beamed into the camera, the former TOWIE star was still showing off a deep tan from the couple's honeymoon in Dubai and the Maldives.

Wearing a casual white T-shirt and black denim jacket with his collar popped, Mark opted for a low-key look for the day, teaming his outfit with a pair of tan suede desert boots.

The TV personality's grin hasn't slipped since marrying Michelle in a lavish ceremony last month, and even though she didn't join him for the celebratory launch, Mark still looked blissfully happy.

Mark excitedly shared the news of his double fragrance launch with his Twitter followers.

Say cheese! Pulling his best cheesy grin as he beamed into the camera, the former TOWIE star was still showing off a deep tan from the couple's honeymoon in Dubai and the Maldives

He said: 'Took months to get the smell I wanted. We cracked it in the end and it's perfect !! I hope you love it !!' (sic)

And the TV star insisted he collects aftershave, much like his new bride collects designer handbags.

Mark explained: 'I have a huge passion for fragrances and have a massive collection myself, rather like women collect handbags I collect aftershaves!

'I’ve worked really hard on the fragrances and I hope people love them as much as I do.'

Mark headed back to work at Heart FM earlier this month after returning from his lavish wedding at Hengrave Hall in Sussex, followed by a sun-soaked honeymoon in the Maldives and Dubai, where they were treated like royalty in a suite at the Atlantis Palm in Dubai.

The otherworldly room looks out onto one of the biggest aquariums in the world and costs from £5,272 per night.

They got to share their experience with the respective families, as the couple broke honeymoon etiquette and invited their parents and Mark's brother Josh and his girlfriend along for the trip.

However, there was shadow looming over the idyllic break - Mark's former fiance Lauren.

He launched a scathing attack on his 'embarrassing' ex after the Essex girl jetted to Dubai at the same time as him.

Mark took to his Twitter page in the early hours of Tuesday morning to tell the reality star to 'respect' his new wife and finally 'move on' from the couple's 10-year on-off romance.

The TV presenter wrote on Twitter: 'Endless mentions RE: me and us is embarrassing. I really thought after lawyers being involved and polite pleas to stop mentioning me she...

'Would stop. Maybe not. It's hurtful to think one person needs to mention YOU every week to earn a living. Being married to another women

'Almost makes it unfair !! If your reading this, please PLEASE respect my wife and STOP. Everyone has a past, get over it !! I really didn't

'Want to have to do this but enough is enough. I wish you well but leave me, my life and my wife out of it. Im sure there is other ways to make money.' [sic]

But Lauren - who holidayed in Dubai with her on-off boyfriend Jake McLean while Mark and Michelle were on honeymoon - later hit back at her former flame's rather cutting words.

Writing in her new! magazine column last week, she vented her frustrations in a lengthy rant, claiming she isn't milking her 10-year childhood romance with Mark for publicity and insisting she's in love with boyfriend Jake, who she has recently got back together with.

Lucky man! Mark and his new bride were treated like royalty in a suite at the Atlantis Palm in Dubai, with the room looking out onto one of the biggest aquariums in the world and costing from £5,272 per night

She wrote: 'I’m not living off Mark for money. I have been offered numerous interviews to talk about him, particularly of late – all of which I have turned down. I only ever speak about him in my column to defend myself against stories which aren’t from me.

'The quotes I’ve posted aren’t about Mark, they’re relevant to other things in my life, which I hope is clear now I can reveal that I’m officially back with Jake. I just wanted to keep that private until we were ready. I’m in love with someone else, so is Mark, and everyone needs to get over it.'

This week, Lauren made sure to prove her love for her man by getting a tattoo of her on-again boyfriend Jake's name on her wrist.

She wrote in her column for new! magazine: 'Jake loves it but he did laugh and say I'm mental. I didn't properly think about it beforehand, I just went and had it done.'

Lauren and Mark dated on and off for 10 years, before the Essex hunk popped the question on TOWIE in 2011. The pair split just five months later.

Michelle and Mark met in Dubai in December 2012, before getting engaged while on holiday in the Middle Eastern holiday hotspot in September 2013.
