Mark Wright is being lined up for another big project

The former 'TOWIE' star - who is fronting 'The Challenge' on Channel 5 next month - has impressed bosses with his stint on the UK version, and he is seemingly being lined up to get involved in a global edition in the United States.

An insider told The Sun newspaper's TVBiz column: "Mark wrapped filming on War Of The Worlds at the start of this month.

“They filmed the series in South Africa and it was a dream gig for Mark, who really got into it.

“He was chosen as a presenter because of his ease on camera during the British version of the show, which goes out on Channel 5 in January."

US fans already know Mark from his time hosting programming for 'Extra TV'.

The source added: "Mark is also well liked by US audiences because of his time on 'Extra TV'. He has a global appeal and is an easy sell to TV bosses.

"Love Island’s Kaz Crossley competed in the show for the UK, along with 'Geordie Shore' star Nathan Henry.

“The series will air worldwide, so fans will be able to see it.”

Meanwhile, Mark previously revealed he had to turn down a major offer in the United States so he could stay in the UK and be with his wife Michelle Keegan.

He explained: "I was actually meant to host a really big dating show out there a few months ago.

“But I couldn’t do it because I had to be in a bubble for three months and I wouldn’t have been able to leave, so I had to say no.

“When I was out there I saw the show on TV and it looked really good, so I was devastated. But I don’t regret leaving LA.”
