The Take That star – who last month confessed he'd had ten affairs since he began dating his now-wife Emma Ferguson - checked himself into The Priory rehabilitation clinic, in London, in March to be treated for alcoholism but signed out on Saturday (17.04.10) and took his family to Wandsworth Park for the day.

A source said: "It was the first time he has seen Emma since he went into rehab and it was very emotional. Mark really wants to patch things up but it is early days. He was so happy to be with the kids and Emma but there is still a long way to go."

Before going into rehab, the 38-year-old singer – who has two children, Elwood, three, and 14-month-old Willow Rose, with Emma – admitted he had badly 'let down' his wife with his actions.

He said: "She loves me and I let her down. I'm really sorry. I have been an idiot, a d***head, a k***head. All of the above and more. It's about me, my mistakes. Nobody else is to blame. I don't know how many girls there were in all. Maybe 10."

Emma, 33, has reportedly agreed not to divorce him for the sake of their children, but has put on hold plans to move into a larger family home.
