Mark Wright returned to work today (March 15) for the first time since becoming a “girl dad” to baby Palma – and he told his Heart FM co-host Olly Murs he’s realised “what life is all about”.
Mark and wife Michelle Keegan, 37, welcomed Palma into the world on March 6. They shared their happy news earlier this week, after enjoying a week out of the spotlight in their baby bubble.
Now, returning to work on his Heart Breakfast show, Mark has shared more details about his new baby girl, including the moment he held her in his arms for the first time.

Mark Wright opens up about baby Palma as he returns to work
Olly joked that Mark had enjoyed a quiet week, with the former TOWIE star telling him that he’d had more than a few sleepless nights.
Hats go off to my wife. She’s a superhuman, superhero for bringing this baby into the world.
He then shared: “Mate, it’s hard to put into words. It’s the biggest achievement of my life and all I think about.”
Mark, 38, then paid tribute to Michelle. “Hats go off to my wife. She’s a superhuman, superhero for bringing this baby into the world and it makes you realise what our mums did for us. It makes me have so much more respect for what women have to go through,” he said.
‘So excited to see her face’
Continuing, Mark then added: “But other than that, it’s the best thing in the world. Every morning I wake up just so excited to see her face. Every time I wake up, she’s there.
“And that moment when I held her in my arms, it gets me emotional thinking about it, it’s just… Look, everything else goes out the window and it makes you realise what life is all about.
“My little baby Palma, I love you so much. And I can’t wait to spend my life with you,” he said.
Olly, who welcomed baby Madison with wife Amelia less than a year ago, offered his congratulations, telling him he knows exactly how he’s feeling.
Mark added: “It’s a very special feeling.”
