MARK Wright has come under fire for pushing his dad into the pool at his mega mansion.
The TV star, 38, filmed himself as he knocked Mark Snr, 68, down the steps into the water - as sister Jessica’s young son swam close by.
Mark Snr could be seen emerging from the water shouting: “You f**king idiot”, as he quickly tried to retrieve his phone that was in his pocket at the time.
Former Towie star Mark can be heard laughing hysterically while Jess scrambled to help their dad.
He shared the video online but not everyone found it funny and many were concerned for Jess's son Presley’s safety.
One person wrote: “Not funny with the steps and the child , could have ended badly.”
A second said: “Not funny at all!! Didn’t you see the child close to him! Absolutely shocking and uncomfortable to watch!!!”
While a third added: “Na this was so out of order Mark! not funny at all. He may be fine, however, it could have been so bad.”
And a fourth wrote: “That was not funny, could have had a serious accident.”
Jess also commented on the post and remarked: “The language was frightening lol.”
The family were enjoying the weather from Mark and his wife Michelle Keegan’s £3.5m home, which boasts its own swimming pool.
Mark is known for his love of pranks and he was hoping to sign his Brassic actress wife up for the Michael McIntyre's Big Show programme on the BBC but he quickly backed out.

Michael admitted that Mark insisted that Michelle take part in the programme's infamous Midnight Gameshow.
In the sketch, Michael surprises a celebrity in the dead of the night in their bedroom.
The unsuspecting star is then forced to participate in a series of games all from the comfort of their bed.
Teasing Mark's plans, Michael said: "I ran into Mark Wright at a golf day and he said: ‘You’ve got to wake up my wife [Michelle Keegan]’...
"But then he was like: ‘I don’t think I can do this, she’s going to hate me.’
However, Mark soon realised there could be a very dangerous problem.
Michael recalled: "Then he mentioned that there’s some sort of attack dog that sleeps on the bed with them."
