Mark is the exuberantly gay one from the show -- and, like his co-hosts Bazil 'Baz' Ashmawy and Michael Hayes -- appears to be little different when the cameras are off than when they're rolling... "And, for some reason, she took a shine to Mark here," says Michael, incredulously. "I mean, of all the ones to like, she picks the gay." ... He came out as gay early on -- "I was a happy-go-lucky kid" -- and long entertained an interest in working on TV.
