SPEAKING OUT: Jess has defended Mark and Michelle's marriage

The celebrity couple have recently been plagued by rumours that there is trouble between them.

But former TOWIE star Jess has spoken out against the rumours, assuring fans there is nothing to worry about.

SIBLINGS: Jess says Mark and Michelle rise above the rumours

"It's awful for them but they have to rise above it and they do," she told OK! Magazine.

She continued: "I feel like constantly having to defend their relationship, even though they don't because they don't give a s***! But they feel like they might have to reassure everyone."

The tanned duo wed in a star-studded ceremony in May 2015.

She said: "They're perfect together, they're so in love and they're so happy."
