Ahead of Palma’s arrival, Mark previously revealed how Olly had been preparing him for the joy of fatherhood.
He gushed: ‘He’s just been telling me how excited I should be, and it’s an amazing ride. I saw him in action as well when we went to the Euros.
‘He’d just had a baby when we were in Germany, and he was telling me everything about it. He was so excited, and he just loves being a dad. He’s a great dad.’
While in August, Olly revealed he’d given Michelle and Mark a warning about what to expect as Palma reached six months.
Speaking to The Mirror, he said: ‘I’ve been saying, “Enjoy your trip to Majorca, because, trust me, when Palma is crawling or walking in a few months, that’s a whole other level.”
‘I also warned him about the weaning stage. You think they’re choking and your wife’s like, “It’s fine – she’s just got to learn how to use her mouth.” What’s it called? The gag reflex. I’m like, “Babe, I can’t. I’m off to sit in the other room.”’
While he shared his hopes that their children will grow up as friends, saying: ‘Wrighty and I have already spoken about going on holiday and just being together, which will be fun.
‘We’ve got such a good friendship, and I really want Michelle and Amelia to meet properly. I’m sure they’ll have loads in common.’

Mark and Olly have been pals for years and began hosting their own breakfast show on Heart Radio together earlier this year.
Mark previously revealed that the duo first met at the Brit Awards eight years ago and stuck up an immediate bond.
The TOWIE star recalled: ‘We did Soccer Aid together a couple of months later, and we were joint at the hip for the whole week and became really close friends from there.
‘He then came out to visit me in LA and spent a couple of weeks living with me in LA, and we had a great time, and it just sort of built from there.
‘When you meet someone you either get on, or you don’t, and we get on like a house on fire.’
It comes after Olly opened up to Mark on their radio show about being forced to leave Amelia and Madison, just two days after her birth to support Take That on tour.
He admitted to the emotional toll the decision had on him months later when he realised he had never gotten to know his daughter as a baby.

The Dear Darling star confessed to Mark that he broke down in tears over the guilt and said that he’s planning to be much more present the second time around with son Albie.
Olly said: ‘It was really hard for me as I had to leave two days after the baby was born to go on tour with Take That.
‘I didn’t really process it at the time and a few months later me and Amelia were chatting and I just broke down in tears as I never got a chance to actually get to know this little baby.’
Supporting his pal amid his decision to leave his family for work commitments, Mark added: ‘But you were doing it all for her future.’
