Olly Murs took a swipe at Mark Wright as the reality star took to social media to pay a gushing tribute to his wife Michelle Keegan.

Mark celebrated his ninth wedding anniversary by posting an adoring message to his wife Michelle, but not all of his celebrity pals were on the same page when it came to celebrating their big day.

Former The Only Way Is Essex star tied the knot with Michelle, who made her name on Coronation Street before starring in a string of hit TV shows, on May 24, 2015 at St Mary's Church in Bury St Edmonds, and Mark, 37, shared a number of photos from that special day along with some other never-seen-before snaps from their lives together. He captioned the post: "Best 9 years of my life. Happy anniversary babe @michkeegan ".

The post on Instagram received nearly 88,000 likes in its first 12 hours of being posted and many of the couple's celebrity friends shared their love. Michelle's former Corrie co-star Catherine Tyldesley was among the first to comment, writing: "Happy Anniversary loves". TOWIE star Leah Wright also added: "Happy anniversary to you both @michkeegan ".

While there was much joy being shared among those commenting, there was one sarky voice among them, though it was delivered with their tongue firmly in their cheek. Singer Olly Murs is still smarting over being snubbed by the happy couple for their wedding day and he is still not going to let it lie, as he commented on the post: "Still annoyed I never got the invite." Olly added a crying emoji and also a laughing one, as he showed that there was a touch of cheeky fun to his reply, though neither Mark or Michelle have liked the comment.

Mark has admitted previously that their wedding day had a touch of jeopardy to it when Michelle's father lost his trousers shortly before walking her down the aisle. Speaking to listeners of his Heart FM show, Mark revealed: "On the wedding day right, my father-in-law is panicking about his speech. All I wanted was for things to go smoothly for him. To make matters worse, Michelle’s step-father’s there as well, we’re getting on our suits, looking slick as you come, black tie, tuxedo. But I look around and my father-in-law Mike is sat there in just a shirt, bow tie and rainbow-coloured boxers."

Since then, Mark and Michelle have been having their mega mansion built in Essex but he has told listeners to his radio show that his thoughts are very much secondary to the wishes of his wife when it comes to decoration. The property, believed to be worth £3.5 million, has a large chandelier in the entrance hall, which drops from the third floor. The "centrepiece" divided fans on social media and he took Michelle to task on the radio over it.

He explained Michelle's design "just did not work", saying on his radio show: "I want to talk about something I did on Instagram this week... Now I don't know about you, but in my household, my partner makes the final decision and has the final say on everything...

"Even when saying 'Mark what do you think? What you think of this colour?' I'm like 'yeah, we should go for that one'...'well actually no, we're going for that one'... May as well just be quiet. But when it came to picking a chandelier in our house like the light in the middle of our hallway that drops from the third floor ceiling, she designed it and drew it and I was like 'what is that..'."

He added: "It's just loads of like light bulbs just dropping from the ceiling and when she drew it and designed it with the amazing company I looked at it... I was like 'this just doesn't work' and I really didn't like it but I had no say as I said but we went for it we hung it and it looks amazing.

"As we sometimes do we post our house updates on our Instagram account and when we did that we showed the chandelier off and I can't tell you how many comments I got that made me think why didn't I think of this at the start?...Basically, picture a light with loads and loads of hanging bulbs that are all different heights that you can't get to because it's hanging from the staircase in the middle."

He explained how his followers immediately questioned how they are going to be able to change the light bulbs when they go out. Mark quipped: "So yeah thanks Instagram for letting me know and thanks for letting me know that I was correct and it was the wrong chandelier...So Michelle, next time I'm picking the light!"
