Antony Cotton, who plays Sean Tully in Corrie, has been putting The Only Way is Essex 'star' Mark Wright, er, right, about the merits of their respective television series – but it wasn’t long before they started sniping.
Now then, I've never seen TOWIE so all I know about Mark Wright is what I'm seeing on Celebrity Jungle, and I'm thinking of a sentence that includes "thick as" and "two short planks".
From STV website:
Antony said he knew all about The Only Way Is Essex but later confessed that he hadn’t watched it very much and that he thought Coronation Street was the superior show.
Mark explained: “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." About TOWIE he said: "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.”
