Last week, Michelle and Mark revealed their daughter’s name in a joint post, following their pregnancy announcement back in December. In the heartfelt post, the proud parents expressed their newfound love for their little girl, writing: “Together we have a new love to share… Our little girl. Palma Elizabeth Wright. 06.03.25.” Mark gushed over his wife Michelle on Heart’s Saturday Breakfast show, which he presents with his mate Olly Murs. He praised the former Coronation Street actress as a “superhero” for her role in parenthood. When asked about his feelings, Mark couldn’t hide his joy, telling Olly: “It’s actually hard to put it into words. I’ll start by saying it’s the biggest achievement of my life. It’s all I think about.”

He continued, expressing awe at his wife’s strength: “But obviously, hats goes off to my wife. She’s an absolute superhuman superhero for bringing this baby into the world. “And it makes you realise, like what our mums did for us, and makes me have so much more respect than I already had and what women have to go through.” On the radio show, Mark shared his newfound fatherly bliss: “But other than that, it’s the best feeling in the world. I wake up every morning just so excited to see her face. Every time I wake up, I’m like ‘oh, she’s there.’ And that moment when I held her in my arms, I mean, it gets me emotional now thinking about it.” Wrapping up his heartfelt sentiments on last weekend’s episode, he said: “It’s just, I suppose, everything else goes out the window. And it’s made me realise what life is all about. And my little baby, Palma, I love you so much. I can’t wait to spend my life with you.”
