Named A Wright Family Holiday, the series sees the Wright men take on a number of challenges, while ultimately reconnecting and making new memories.
But one such challenge seemed too much for 36-year-old Mark.
The star was filmed standing on the edge of an 80ft mine shaft in the pitch black.
He was ready to jump down it in all of his equipment but let out a series of high pitched squeels as he braced himself for the drop.

Mark said: “I’m not sure how this happened again but I’m going first.
“That’s petrifying. Why does it feel so scary?”
The man in charge of keeping the Wright men safe replied: “Because it is really scary.”
Despite Mark’s fears, Mark senior was having none of it and told his son to “get it done.”

Mark continued: “I don’t think I can do it,” before shrieking: “I can’t do it, I can’t.
“No I can’t, I went to go but I can’t.”
After shouting out “come on you mug,” he musters up the courage and plummets down the shaft while letting out a series of noises.
“My legs are absolutely trembling,” the star says, as he finally reaches the bottom.
That’s not the only challenge that had the Wright men trembling.
