Staying strong: Former TOWIE star Mark Wright has revealed his secret battle with OCD during an interview with This Morning on Monday

He said candidly: 'I have symmetry OCD, if I touch one leg in a certain place I have to do it on the same leg.

'Growing up as a kid my dad had OCD, little habits he does and so does my sister Jess - we all have little habits, we have to touch things a certain amount of times."

The Essex hunk admitted since suffering with the illness he has set time aside to work with charities who help people with the condition.

Since getting involved with the worthwhile organisations, Mark discovered his fight with OCD isn't as extreme as he initially thought.

He said: 'Some of the guys I met have OCD so bad that they want to commit suicide.

'With me, I'll have to turn on a light at a certain time or the volume has to be at a certain level - a lot of people have traits like this.

'But the people I met recently have serious OCD. Some think it's funny but actually, when you do meet these people, it's not funny at all.'
