Top talent
Mark's first performance was singing "Walking in the Air" in Welsh in the local supermarket. His career really took off when he made his West End debut in Spamalot before playing heart throb Troy in High School Musical earlier this year. He's currently Prince Charming in Panto at the Churchill Theatre, Bromley.
He was head boy of Laine Theatre Arts for three years.
Mark made it through to the Final of Your Country Needs You, eventually finishing in third place.
Where've you seen him before?
If you missed him in Spamalot you may have caught his stage performance in the tour of 7 Brides for 7 Brothers.
As a dancer, he has performed with Will Young, Gareth Gates, Liberty X, Westlife, Ronan Keating and Charlotte Church. He's also appearing in the Christmas ad campaign for a famous clothing chain.
In his own words: "He knows that he is now part of something massive and he is confident that it is the right thing for him to do"
Mark trivia
He was brought up on the family farm in Wales. His father inherited it from Mark's grandfather.
Mark was educated in the village school, there were four people in his year and 23 children in the school as a whole.
He is totally bi-lingual, speaks Welsh with his father and English with his mum Sue.
At twelve, his mother took him to the local dance school. As the only boy in class it felt like The Billy Elliot story.
