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."

David and Romeo Beckham look troubled as family rift reaches new level
While Sir David Beckham is yet to comment publicly on the rumoured rift in his family, his facial expressions said a thousand words in his latest public appearance. The England football legend, who was recently awarded a knighthood, has been a hot topic of gossip for months due to an alleged feud with eldest son Brooklyn Beckham and his wife, Nicola Peltz. Eyebrows were raised when Brooklyn, 26, and Nicola, 30, failed to attend Sir David's 50th birthday bash, and ever since, there's been plenty of speculation about the nature of their relationship. This has also included Brooklyn's siblings, as while he was happy to pay tribute to sister Harper on her 14th birthday this week, it was claimed that he and Nicola had unfollowed both Romeo and Cruz. The whole thing is very messy, so you'd be forgiven for not being able to keep up, but it seems recent events could've been weighing on Sir David's mind as he attended a game on Saturday night. Joined by Romeo, the father-son duo looked deep in thought while watching Sir David's Inter Miami play against Nashville SC at Chase Stadium in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Photos captured Sir David and Romeo, 22, with stern expressions and furrowed brows, mimicking one another with their arms behind their backs while the action on the pitch intensified. Sitting in their seats later on, Sir David tucked into a snack, unable to take his eyes off the match. The Inter Miami president and co-owner looked typically dapper in a navy suit and tie combo, while Romeo somewhat resembled his famous father in his younger days with a bleached buzzcut and tattoos on full display. He also opted for more casual attire of a baggy Snoop Dogg T-shirt and green camouflage cargos, paired with a flashy Rolex watch. Sir David and Romeo's night out comes after reports that Brooklyn and Nicola had not only removed his brothers from their Instagram 'following' lists, but blocked them completely. However, sources close to the former photographer later claimed that he had done no such thing. 'Brooklyn had no idea until he read about it online,' said the insider. 'It's possible Romeo and Cruz blocked them, which would make it appear as him no longer following the brothers.' They added to The Sun: 'He and Nicola certainly didn't unfollow them or block them—they're as confused as anyone else. 'The first they heard about it was when it was being reported on.' Although Brooklyn's denial didn't seem to defuse any problems, as Romeo appeared to make another subtle dig on Insta on Friday night, just hours later. The model posted a screenshot of Justin Bieber's new song, Walking Away, adding the comment 'Yup' to suggest the lyrics hit close to home. In recent weeks, budding chef Brooklyn has made no secret of his attempts to create distance between himself and his parents. From snubbing Sir David's knighthood to failing to wish him a happy Father's Day, there have been several major milestones he's been silent on. In contrast, he was keen to wish Nicola's billionaire tycoon father, Nelson Peltz, a happy birthday last month, and has shared several lovey-dovey messages for Nicola, whom he married in 2022. One of those was a video of the lovebirds riding a motorbike. In his caption, Brooklyn vowed to 'always choose' his actress wife, proving where his loyalties lie. But while Brooklyn continues to face the wrath of social media for 'disrespecting' his mum and dad, sources have claimed the drama is having a big impact on him too. More Trending Speaking to Metro recently, one said: 'Brooklyn hasn't felt the same about his family for months. 'It's hard to see any improvement on the relationship between either side, even though Victoria and David are desperate for things to get better.' The insider claimed that Brooklyn's bday tribute for sister Harper may be somewhat of an 'olive branch,' although it remains to be seen if relations can heal going forward. 'When big family milestones approach, he often feels quite isolated over in Los Angeles, but he's keen to show that he loves his family deeply.' Got a story?

"My hormones are mental and I've only just started feeling okay. I've been through a lot. My body has been through a lot. It's so hard but I guess cliche to say IT IS worth it. For someone who doesn't like routines, I've had to become the person who lives in one." Anne Marie then goes on to talk about how she has gone through postnatal depression since having children. She added: "With naps and feeding and meal times. "But I'm through it, still going through it but I feel I've come out of the hole. I battled with postnatal depression and postnatal anxiety, and therapy (yet again), and the people around me pulled me through it. "Now I'm back. I'm strong and I'm excited. My blond hair is back. My body is kinda back. I just have to stop eating chocolate now and saying 'the baby wants it' hahahaha damn. "Anyway, this caption is too long but just wanted to let you know. My mind is finally seeing clear again. Yay. I have 2 beautiful babies. Now it's time to tour again hahaha. Okay maybe not yet but soon." Friends and fans took to the comments to share their sweet messages. One said: "Beautiful inside and out mumma!!," as a second added: "There she is, absolutely smashing it Mama." Anne Marie shares two children with her rapper husband Slowthai. The chart-topping couple tied the knot, secretly, in 2022.
