FORMER TOWIE star Mark Wright's dream came true as he made his professional football debut in the FA Cup.

Mark, who was on Southend United's books before moving away from the sport and becoming a television personality, came on as a late substitute in Crawley Town's shock 3-0 win over Premier League side Leeds United to book their place in the fourth round of the competition.

The 33-year-old, one of TOWIE's original cast members, signed for Crawley last month.
