Michelle Keegan and Mark Wright enjoyed a bite to eat at a pub in north Norfolk just days after their home was raided by a masked gang.

The celebrity couple, who are expecting their first child together, were spotted on Thursday at The White Horse in East Runton and even posed for a photo with some staff members.

Taking to Instagram Stories on Friday (February 21) Mark posted a sweet photo alongside his wife as he held up a beverage and Michelle beamed at the camera.

The former TOWIE star captioned the post: “Lovely lunch @wheastrunton.”

Staff at the pub, which has become a hotspot for famous faces, said they were “proud” to serve the pair who had returned after Wright turned on the Christmas lights last year.

Taking to the picture-sharing site they penned: “We were absolutely delighted to have talented power couple: Mark Wright, Michelle Keegan & Family, join us at White Horse for lunch yesterday!

“Mark, who hosted our amazing Christmas light switch-on last winter, is a regular visitor here at White Horse and it was such a pleasure to have him and his incredibly talented wife, Michelle, visit for a delicious meal!

“We’re proud to serve up not just exceptional food, but a dining experience that keeps them coming back for more!

“Thanks for joining us – we can’t wait to have you both back!”

Mark was pictured wearing a camel Gucci hoodie and holding a pint of Guinness while Michelle was dressed in an oversized white shirt and jeans.

Just two days before their trip to Norfolk, the couple – who are expecting their first child this year – had their Essex home was broken into by intruders.

According to reports, Mark, 38, was said to have heard a patio window smash and then hid in a locked bedroom together with his 37-year-old wife until police arrived.

The intruders fled empty-handed after hearing Mark shouting.

Essex Police has increased “high visibility” patrols in the area while an investigation continues.

The force said its officers were at the scene within eight minutes on Tuesday.

“We are exploring a number of lines of inquiry including but not limited to forensic opportunities, CCTV and witness statements,” a spokeswoman said.

“Anyone with information should contact us as soon as possible.”
