Michelle and Mark have so far only shared a glimpse at their baby girl as they uploaded black and white pictures.
Over the weekend, the actress shared a close-up shot of her baby girl’s tiny foot on her Instagram Stories.
Mark has described fatherhood as the ‘biggest achievement’ of his life since welcoming baby Palma into the world with Michelle on March 6.
Chatting with his best friend and fellow dad Olly Murs on his Heart Breakfast show, Mark recalled the moment he first held his newborn daughter in his arms.
Mark fought back emotions as he said: ‘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 earlier this month with a sweet snap shared to Instagram.
In a sweet black-and-white photo, the proud new parents held Palma’s tiny hand, with the newborn dressed in a crochet set.
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 photo shoot.
Michelle married Mark in May 2015 and the couple live together in an Essex mansion they built from scratch.
