Anthony Cotton
Mark and Antony talked about the merits of their respective television series. Antony said he knew all about The Only Way Is Essex (Towie) but later confessed that he hadn’t watched it very much and that he thought Coronation Street was the superior show.
Mark explained that “the difference between Towie and soap operas is ours is like a real soap.”
Antony was disparaging about the show saying that Towie’s stars only said ‘yes babes’ because they hadn’t had time to prepare anything else.
Sinitta was intrigued. “Is it right there’s no script, it’s just the circumstances” she asked Mark who replied that she was correct.
Antony later said “Coronation Street is the nation’s favourite television programme and it’s a continuing drama. Towie is Mark and his crew of young, modern, funky funsters and their real lives. It’s like chalk and cheese. Neither is better or . . . Actually Coronation Street is better. Much much better.”
He continued “I’ve not really seen much of it. It’s a bit weird for me. I want to watch it behind a cushion. You know, when you watched Jaws as a kid.”
“He must be absolutely off his rocker. I try and keep all that private and it’s just laid out. He’s very brave. Braver than me.”
And later he said “It’s hard being yourself 24 hours a day and he should know that because he’s done it for three series of a tv show. I mean it’s all going on in Essex isn’t it? Who knew?”
Mark also revealed that he wouldn’t ever go back out with is ex girlfriend Lauren Goodger again
