Mark Wright admits to big 'disappointment' after recent holiday with Michelle and baby Palma
Mark Wright has confessed he was left annoyed after his recent holiday with wife Michelle Keegan and their baby daughter, Palma. The TOWIE star, 38, took a trip to Majorca with the Our Girl star, also 38, and their five-month-old.
The family are known to be big fans of the Spanish island, which is likely to be in the inspiration behind their daughter's name, and like to get away for a break whenever they can. However, Mark revealed he was left a little miffed during their latest trip as he explained what happened to Heart FM co-host, Olly Murs, the Mirror reports.
Confessing that he thought the airport staff in Spain may have reacted to Palma's name, which is the capital of Majorca, Mark said: "I thought: 'Surely there would be little smile or something'." He continued: "Well, obviously Palma is spelled like Palma. Like Palma, the place in Majorca, the city where you land.
"And I was always like, whenever you land in another country and you go through passport control, they're never happy.
"They never look at them smiley, it's just 'gracias', and just walk off. And I was like, surely they're going to read Palma's passport and be like, a little smile or something.
'Michelle's like, well, make sure you give that, like, her Palma's passport first and like, hold it in front of them. I do, I gave it. He just looked down at his stamps and went on, 'you go'."
Explaining that it was his daughter's first time in Palma, he added: "Palma went to Palma for the first ever time we did a picture in front of the Palma signs. So it was, it was a beautiful week. I ate and drank a little bit too.
"You know, I also realised as well. When I used to go on holiday with my dad and he used to have a beer at like 12 o'clock in the afternoon, I used to think, how could you want that? Like, maybe at night time when you go to the bar. What was I doing…
"Everyday midday beer. I was like, I'm literally turning into my dad."
Speaking about Palma, he concluded: "She's like her mum. She sleeps a lot! So we get away with, you know, tantrums on the plane, because we just give her a nap time, then she sleeps the whole flight."

Desperate Housewives actress Eva Longoria looked incredible as she hit the beach in Marbella in a black string bikini after deciding to leave America for a new life in Spain Eva Longoria looked sensational as she headed to the beach in a black string bikini after ditching the U.S. The Desperate Housewives star, 50, has been soaking up the sights of Spain after wanting to explore her ancestral roots. She stepped out on the beach in Marbella, where she appeared relaxed and carefree in the sunshine. Eva showcased her stunning figure as she took a dip in the sea to cool off. The actress, who also speaks Spanis,h was joined by her family for the outing as Eva wore her string bikini with a delicate gold necklace as well as a black mini skirt. It comes after photos show Holly Willoughby letting her hair down in white swimsuit on sun soaked holiday. Earlier this year, Eva headed to Spain for her new TV project, Searching for Spain. The show followed the mum-of-one as she examined Spain's culinary traditions and incredible food, all while reconnecting with her family history. Eva revealed: 'Eleven generations ago, one of my ancestors left Spain for the new world and new life. Four hundred years later, I'm back to see how the land and its people have created one of the world's most exciting cuisines.' She added: 'If you can preserve your food and your recipes, you can teach the rest of the world who you are. I get to visit long-lost family.' Eva was born in Texas and spent much of her adult life in California, but holds a Spanish citizenship. She recently relocated to Spain with her Mexican husband, producer José Bastón, and their son, Santiago. The actress previously confessed she no longer wanted to live in Los Angeles, describing her move as the end of a chapter in her life. She denied speculation that her decision to leave the US was politically motivated following Trump's re-election as president. Eva said that she moved over three years ago for work-related reasons and now primarily divides her time between Spain and Mexico. Speaking on the Behind the Table podcast, she said: "Will you please let them know I didn't move out of the United States because of Trump? "I've been in Europe for almost three years. That's why I'm in Europe. I didn't leave because of the political environment. I left because my work took me there." She insisted: "I'm a proud American. I've always been a proud American. Proud Texan, proud American. I didn't want it to be taken that I left because of Trump — absolutely not — or because of the elections." Despite moving away from the States, Eva has revealed she hasn't turned her back on Desperate Housewives. There's long been speculation over a potential reboot of the acclaimed ABC show, which celebrated its 20th anniversary last year. Appearing on Watch What Happens Live, Eva admitted the show's future boils down to creator Marc Cherry. Host Andy Cohen asked: "Really? Why he feels like it's complete?" Eva said: "He feels like we've exhausted the characters."

Scenic seaside Scottish town with stunning panoramic views and 'best fish and chips'
Troon, a coastal town in South Ayrshire, is known for its sandy beaches, scenic esplanade, lively harbour, and fresh seafood A coastal town in South Ayrshire overlooking the Isle of Arran and Ailsa Craig, has long been a favourite escape for day-trippers and holidaymakers. Just 45 minutes from Glasgow Central Station and only a few miles from Prestwick International Airport, Troon combines sandy beaches, bustling harbour life and a reputation for some of the best seafood in Scotland, Express reports. The town is particularly known for its two golden beaches, Troon Beach, also called South Beach, and Barassie Beach. Both are celebrated for their wide sandy stretches and stunning views across the Firth of Clyde. The esplanade is a popular spot for walking, cycling and wheelchair users, with benches, picnic areas and cafés dotted along the route. Free parking nearby makes the seafront easily accessible for visitors. Troon's harbour remains one of the most active on the Ayrshire coast. It is home to the region's main fish market, which supplies freshly caught seafood to restaurants in the area. The marina beside it also attracts sailors and yachting enthusiasts from across the Clyde. Wildlife can often be spotted along the harbour, with seals frequently seen near the water's edge. Among the town's most talked-about attractions is The Wee Hurrie, a local fish and chip shop that has drawn widespread praise for both quality and authenticity. Located on Harbour Road, it offers views across the harbour while visitors wait for their meals. One TripAdvisor user, Lesley A, highlighted the freshness of the seafood, writing: 'Excellent prawns and scampi. Very fresh and well cooked. Good to know it's maintained quality food. Glad we returned and will come back!' Another customer described the experience as worth the wait, adding: 'It was well worth the wait, haddock was huge and fantastic along with the chips that were cooked to perfection, something that is very hard to find nowadays.' The popularity of the chippy has earned it an average rating of 4.1 out of 5 from 936 TripAdvisor reviews. Prices remain modest, with a freshly made small cod and chips costing under £10 according to the 2024 menu. Beyond food and scenery, Troon is synonymous with golf. The town boasts seven courses, including Royal Troon, a venue that regularly hosts The Open Championship. The reputation of its greens makes it one of the most sought-after destinations for golfers worldwide. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

The beaches attract windsurfers, kitesurfers and paddleboarders throughout the summer, while the Yacht Haven provides one of the Clyde's leading sailing centres. Troon has also made its way onto the television map. The closing scenes of Outlander's first season, showing Jamie, Claire and Murtagh departing Scotland for France, were filmed off its coast. For those planning longer stays, the town offers a range of accommodation, from family-run guesthouses to quality hotels, some of which cater for weddings, corporate events and spa weekends. Independent shops and cafés add further charm to the centre, giving visitors plenty to explore away from the shoreline.
