Smiling in her floor-length black dress, new mum Michelle Keegan looked forward to her first night out since giving birth to baby girl Palma.

The actress posed alongside husband Mark Wright at London’s five star Corinthia Hotel on Thursday night, as they prepared to make their way over the road to The Savoy. 

They were there to support the former TOWIE star’s sister Jess Wright’s charity event in aid of her son Presley, who was born with a life-threatening heart condition.

Michelle, 37, was also there to cheer on Mark who was hosting the night, the Have a Heart gala, to raise money for Brompton Fountain, which supports the treatment and care of seriously ill children at Royal Brompton and Harefield Hospitals, which has been credited with saving little Presley’s life.

He was diagnosed with congenital heart disease called ‘Bicuspid Aortic Valve when he was a tiny baby.

But Michelle decided to avoid the fanfare of the red carpet by slipping in the side entrance – perhaps to make sure the attention was on Jess rather than her. 

Instead Mark posted on Instagram, writing alongside a picture of the couple, who married in 2015: ‘Sharing the snap to Instagram, Mark penned: ‘Mum and Dad just got scrubbed up, ready for our 1st night out.’

Regardless, Mark and Michelle wanted to ensure that they looked the part so she got fully glammed up by getting ready at the Corinthia, after all, it had been several months since she enjoyed a night out on the town.

Meanwhile, Mark had to make a last minute dash the shops when he realised his white shirt was a little on the snug side.

A source said: ‘Mark and Michelle wanted to support Jess, it was so important to them and the rest of the Wright family.

‘Things have been difficult for Jess but she has received a lot of help and she wanted to give back by holding the event. 

‘Mark and Michelle travelled to London and Michelle got ready while Mark had to rush out and save his own day with a new, slightly bigger shirt. He saw the funny side.’

They joined guests such as Denise Van Outen, Kimberley Walsh and Zoe Hardman, while Britain’s Got Talent winner Sydnie Christmas reduced guest to tears with a poignant rendition of Tomorrow.

Mark has described fatherhood as the ‘biggest achievement’ of his life after welcoming Palma into the world with Michelle on March 6 

There was also an auction during which guests could bid for prizes such as BGT final tickets.

One guest told MailOnline: ‘Many of us were in tears as we heard some terribly sad stories about children affected by heart conditions.’

Last August Jess, 40, revealed that Presley has the disease, writing on Instagram that it was ‘something he was born with & happens to a small 1% of us.’

She added: ‘Essentially, instead of having three leaflets in his aortic valve, like most, he only has two.

‘This condition affects how blood flows from the heart to the rest of the body and will require monitoring & care over time.

‘I won’t go into the full details right now, but while this is please God not a fatal disease, we are coming to terms with the fact that our son will need intervention at least twice in his life.’

Michelle gave birth to a baby girl in March and has been sharing glimpses into her new mum life ever since.

Last week, Michelle and Mark took the little one on her first visit to five-star hotel, Corinthia London for a long weekend.

Sharing a slew of stunning snaps, Michelle looked effortlessly stylish as she made her way around the big smoke, baby bag and pram in tow.

In one image, she showcased her gorgeous figure in a white wrap around top and matching trousers, as she posed for a glamorous mirror selfie, before slipping into a more casual getup of black trousers, a white T-shirt and tan jacket.

She left her brunette tresses down and accessorised with a pair of oversized brown sunglasses to protect her eyes from the spring sun.

Michelle teamed a chic brown leather jacket with alabaster trousers and comfy trainers while shielding her eyes behind shades.

The stunner wore her long brunette locks in a half up half down style and pushed her beloved daughter in her £1,249 for the iCandy Peach 7 Coco pushchair.

Captioning the post: ‘The perfect week…’ the former Coronation Street star also shared a number of posts which were dedicated to her daughter’s name.

These included a personalised dressing gown with her name embroidered on the front from the hotel, some clay mugs – one stamped Palma and another stamped Palma’s mama – and two gorgeous gold necklaces – one with her daughters’ name written out and another with a string of P’s across it.

Earlier in the week, Mark took to his Instagram Stories to give an insight into the lavish trip, where hotel staff kindly gave them some adorable gifts for Palma.

The doting father shared a sweet video of him and Michelle walking into their very luxurious hotel suite, complete with an extravagant chandelier and spiral staircase.

Michelle flashed a huge smile as she cradled baby Palma while hotel staff had put photographs of them with their daughter in silver frames on a table.

A toy bunny was also placed on the table with ‘Palma Wright’ written on a red bow around its neck in a heartwarming personal touch.

The hotel also gifted baby Palma a dressing gown and tiny slippers with her name embroidered across it, with Mark sharing a picture of the items to Instagram.

He also gave an insight into their high-end stay, complete with a very lavish meal and stunning rooftop views of London’s city centre.

‘It’s the little touches… special,’ Mark gushed in a caption alongside his videos.

Mark recently opened up about what he’s finding difficult as a first-time parent of a newborn on his Heart FM radio show this morning with his co-host Olly Murs .

The revelation came as they read out a message from a listener who said sorting through their clothes is ‘tiring’.

Mark jokingly responded: ‘Lisa, I’m going to go back to what you just said there, it’s very tiring sorting your clothes in your room – don’t talk to me about tired right now.

‘Because Palma, my little baby, is making me extremely tired. I turned up this morning and Olly went “you look shattered”.’

Laughing, Olly quipped: ‘You know what, it’s your eyes, it is the first time I’ve seen these little bags in all the years I’ve known you, just here, and it is a dad thing, it is a parent thing, all of a sudden you get these little bags under your eyes.’

Mark agreed: ‘Yeah, they say dad bod don’t they, they never warn you about dad eyes’.

Despite the lack of sleep, the reality star continued to gush about how much he’s loving being a dad.

He said: ‘It is the best thing ever. It is the best thing ever. Except when I am trying to wind her after a bottle at 2am, nightmare.’

Mark described fatherhood as the ‘biggest achievement’ of his life after welcoming Palma into the world with Michelle on March 6.

He told Olly: ‘Mate, it’s actually hard to put into words.

‘It’s the biggest achievement of my life its all I think about but obviously hats go off to my wife she is an absolute super human, a superhero for bringing this baby into the world.’

Sharing his appreciation for Michelle, he added: ‘It makes you realise what our mums did for us and makes me have so much more respect than I already had and what women had to go through.

‘It’s the best feeling in the world. I wake up every morning just so excited to see her face.’

Recalling the first moment he held Palma, he continued: ‘That moment when I held her in my arms, it gets me emotional now thinking about it.

‘I suppose everything else goes out the window and its made me realise what life is all about and my little baby Palma I love you so much and I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life with you.

‘It’s a very special feeling. I cant really put it into words. We’ve waited a little bit of time, we’ve chased our dreams and our careers and now we’re here. We’ve got a baby.’

Mark and Michelle announced the news of their daughter’s birth last month with a sweet snap shared to Instagram.

It’s believed the couple chose the name Palma because of their strong links to Mallorca, their go-to holiday destination and the setting for their pregnancy reveal photoshoot.

The couple tied the knot in May 2015 and they live together in a £3.5million Essex mansion which they built from scratch.
