Jess Wright reveals the parenting advice she has given to her brother Mark and Michelle Keegan after the couple welcomed their baby daughter Palma
Jess Wright has revealed the parenting advice she gave her brother Mark and his wife Michelle Keegan after they welcomed their baby daughter Palma.
The pair announced the birth of their first child last month and have been enjoying the first few weeks of parenthood, heading to Soho Farmhouse in Oxford with their bundle of joy before spending time at the five-star Corinthia London.
And Mark's sister has wasted no time imparting some wisdom, drawing on her own experience with son Presley, two.
The TOWIE star told OK! 'Obviously now we've got Palma who is going to fit right in. She's adorable! They all absolutely love spending time with each other and Palma is an angel. She's so beautiful and sweet. The boys love her and are very gentle with her.
'It's lovely seeing [Mark and Michelle] as parents, I knew they would be incredible parents and they are.
'We're always with each other anyway and we tell each other little bits - there's always room to help each other out when you have babies. It's all such new territory.'
Jess was speaking at a charity event in aid of Presley, who was born with a life-threatening heart condition.
Michelle, 37, was also there to cheer on Mark, 38, who was hosting the night to raise money for Brompton Fountain, which supports the treatment and care of seriously ill children at Royal Brompton and Harefield Hospitals, credited with saving little Presley's life.
He was diagnosed with a congenital heart disease called Bicuspid Aortic Valve when he was a baby.
Mark posted on Instagram on Thursday night, 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.'
The couple wanted to ensure they looked the part so Michelle 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.
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.
It comes after Mark and Michelle whisked their baby daughter off on their first London city break as a family.
The pair often enjoy luxury stays at the Corinthia and took their new-born on her first visit to the five-star hotel.
The couple, who live in a £3.5million Essex mansion, announced the birth of their first child in March and have been enjoying the first few weeks of parenthood.
They had their first family holiday at the £350-per-night luxury members' club Soho Farmhouse.
Mark then took to his Instagram Stories earlier this month to give an insight into the lavish trip to the Corinthia, 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 suite, complete with an extravagant chandelier and spiral staircase.
His wife 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 the baby a dressing gown and tiny slippers with her name embroidered, 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.
The star recently opened up about what he's finding difficult as a first-time parent of a newborn on his Heart FM radio show on Thursday morning with his co-host Olly.
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 thanks to their strong links to Mallorca, which is 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 mansion they built from scratch.

James Argent performs at Megan McKenna's wedding after girlfriend's abuse post
James 'Arg' Argent was seen celebrating his former The Only Way Is Essex co-star Megan McKenna's wedding over the weekend, just hours after his ex put out a heartbreaking statement James 'Arg' Argent danced the night away with his The Only Way Is Essex co-stars, just hours after his ex issued a heartbreaking statement. Nicoline Artursson broke her silence on Friday evening for the first time since her ex admitted to domestic violence. The former Only Way Is Essex star admitted his crime at a court in Spain where he received a six-month suspended prison sentence and a two-year restraining order. Argent pushed his now ex-girlfriend down a flight of stairs, causing the injuries. As Nicoline spoke of how the "fractures on my body have finally healed but I'm wounded inside", just hours later, on the Saturday, Arg was at Megan's wedding, where she tied the knot with her husband Oliver. Taking to Instagram, Arg posted a video of him and Megan dancing at the nuptials. He wrote: "Congratulations to the beautiful Bride, My dear friend @meganmckenna who got married to the lovely @oliverjburke yesterday. "I can't tell you how much it meant to me, That you wanted me there on your special Wedding day. We danced together just like old times in Nu Bar Loughton when we were kids. He added: "We always supported each other in those TOWIE days & remained friends ever since. You've blossomed into an amazing woman. You're a fantastic mum & you're going to make a great wife! And you're a much better singer than me haha. Love ya." In her heartbreaking statement, Nicoline explained more about that night. She wrote: "I was brutally thrown out of our new home in the middle of the night wearing only my pyjamas. I opened the door to let him in and only minutes after I found myself laying down on the stairs outside our house. My clothes and belongings were being thrown out from the balcony down on me. I was injured." She also added: "A gentleman does not abuse you and end up in jail and call you the love of his life. A gentleman does not blame you for his actions. A gentleman will confide in his partner, family and close circle of friends, keeping them close and safe. A gentleman chooses you always and leaves the past in the past - including exes. "Life is to be lived together and not to please people who want to take advantage of you. At the end of the day, fame can only do so much - it's all about being strong and growing together. Life is simply not a reality TV show, life is real. I have tried to understand why. I have cried so many tears thinking about the way he chose to hurt me. He said he loved me and I believed him and here we are." *For confidential support, call the 24-hour National Domestic Abuse Freephone Helpline on 0808 2000 247 or visit If you or your family have lost a friend or family member through fatal domestic abuse, AAFDA (Advocacy After Fatal Domestic Abuse) can offer specialist and expert support and advocacy.
