Previously he was rumoured to be dating Mandy Moore (but it wasn’t true, Shane spread the story to wind Mark up!). He was also rumoured to have dated a model named Lauren Gold for a while (she starred in Robbie William’s video “Rock DJ” as the DJ). Lauren accompanied him to the premiere of teen movie Coyote Ugly (see the pic of them together below). Mark said that they met at a party in London and thought she was very nice, but due to both their busy schedules the relationship wasn’t serious. Mark also dated Page 3 glamour model Ebony. Mark was also rumoured to be going out with Cathy Newell from Irish girl group Bellefire (who, like Westlife, are managed by Louis Walsh).
