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.

Glamorous Instagram ‘astronaut', 22, exposed as FAKE after duping 150k followers with pics of her ‘training at Nasa'
She claimed she made into the 'Astronaut Class of 2025' with plans to go to Moon and Mars TO INFAMY & BEYOND Glamorous Instagram 'astronaut', 22, exposed as FAKE after duping 150k followers with pics of her 'training at Nasa' Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A GLAMOROUS Instagram star who soared to fame by claiming she was an astronaut has been exposed as a fraud by NASA. Laysa Peixoto, known to her 156,000 followers as @AstroLaysa, announced earlier this month she'd been picked for a career in space exploration.

But just days after her triumphant Instagram reveal - complete with snaps of her in a NASA-branded jumpsuit and helmet - NASA itself came crashing into her orbit with a reality check. The agency said bluntly in a statement: "This individual is not a NASA employee, principal investigator, or astronaut candidate. "It would be inappropriate to claim NASA affiliation as part of this opportunity." Peixoto, from the state of Minas Gerais, has told followers she was chosen by private space outfit Titans Space for a 2029 mission led by Veteran NASA astronaut Bill McArthur. She gushed in a post on June 5: "It hasn't fully sunk in yet, but I feel immense gratitude for the entire journey I've taken so far and for everyone who has been and is a part of it." She added: "It is a great joy to represent Brazil as an astronaut in such a decisive era of space exploration… It is an honour to carry the Brazilian flag with me as the first Brazilian woman to cross this frontier." But NASA's no-nonsense response made it clear she had never trained with them and had only participated in a student workshop called L'SPACE - which it described as neither a job nor an internship. Titans Space added to the confusion, confirming she had been accepted into a "candidate programme" - a far cry from a guaranteed seat on a rocket. Fires Up Its Engine and Afterburner During Test Series The company reportedly doesn't even hold a license to conduct manned spaceflights. The programme Peixoto apparently joined is a $1million "Inaugural Astronauts" package promising a five-hour space trip and just three hours of zero gravity. Questions around Peixoto's education also started brewing. She had claimed to be earning a master's in Quantum Physics and Computing at Columbia University in New York City. But the Ivy League school said there's no record of her. 8 In a post, she said: 'It is an honour to carry the Brazilian flag with me...'

In the aftermath of her post, Peixoto's team said: "At no time is there a mention of NASA, or that it would be an astronaut from the agency. "The post was never edited." But eagled-eyed internet sleuths say otherwise - noting the post was edited and included photos heavy with NASA iconography. The bizarre saga saw the "fake astronaut" at the center of social media jokes. One user quipped on X: 'All I have to say is that anyone who saw a girl wearing a space camp jumpsuit claiming to be a lead astronaut researcher deserves to be fooled, when she's clearly just an ambitious and wealthy person.'

Alongside the photos, Madonna wrote on Instagram: 'Love the Skin you're in. Happy Pride,' finishing the caption with a Pride flag and a blue heart emoji. She also included the hashtag #veronicaelectronica - a nod to her upcoming remix album of the same name, which lands on July 25th as a companion piece to 1998's Ray of Light. Madonna is currently dating 29-year-old Akeem Morris. read more on MADONNA Flat Note Millions of Brits think they can sing better than Madonna and Justin Bieber The couple, who first crossed paths in August 2022, made their relationship public in July 2024. A source said at the time, 'Madonna is happier than she has been in a long time. "Her romance with Akeem has been a real whirlwind but they are so in love. She's not back from her trip yet but her pals wouldn't be surprised if it really is an engagement ring.' Madonna might be the Queen of Pop, but she's also queen of her brood – proudly raising six kids over the years. The Like A Prayer hitmaker first became a mom in 1996, welcoming daughter Lourdes Leon with ex Carlos Leon. Four years later, she gave birth to son Rocco with director Guy Ritchie, before the pair adopted David in 2006. Madonna, 66, shows off bra under sheer top as she gyrates with boyfriend Akeem Morris at his 29th birthday party Following her split from Guy, the superstar didn't slow down — later adopting daughter Mercy and then twin girls Stella and Estere, now 12, as a solo parent. Madge has always been open about her devotion to her children, and in recent years, the tight-knit clan has been showing up together more than ever. In March, Madonna revealed her twin daughters made a heartfelt return to their roots in Malawi - the first time they'd been back in eight years. The music icon, who adopted twins Stella and Estere from the African nation in 2017, shared that the trip was a powerful moment for the girls, who revisited the country they were born in. It comes as no surprise, given the pop legend's deep connection to Malawi, where she founded her charity Raising Malawi to support vulnerable children and improve healthcare and education. She told People Magazine, 'The girls have a lot of empathy for vulnerable children in need of life-saving medical care and they are very grateful to be living in a country where medical care is readily available for people. "We are so much closer because we have a common goal, and that is making Malawi a better country for kids to grow up." 6 She posed on a bed for the shots Credit: Instagram 6 She held a small bunch of white flowers, dressed in a white vest and sheer lace lingerie Credit: Instagram 6 Madonna wore her golden locks in a voluminous blow-dry Credit: Instagram

OnlyFans confirms Bonnie Blue 'permanent ban' after porn star's latest sex stunt
Adult star Bonnie Blue, known for having sex with 1,057 men in a day, has been 'permanently banned' from OnlyFans for posting and intending to make 'extreme' content. This comes after the Derbyshire porn star was planning to break her own world record by sleeping with 2,000 men in a single day in a stunt she was branding a 'petting zoo'. An OnlyFans spokesperson told Metro: 'Extreme challenge content is not available on OnlyFans and is not permitted under our Acceptable Use Policy and Terms of Service. 'Any breach of our Terms of Service results in content or account deactivation… This is why it has been necessary to take this action. We always act when users breach our terms of service.' When Metro asked how long Bonnie's ban will be in place for, OnlyFans replied: 'The ban is permanent.' She has since revealed her 'petting zoo' stunt has been cancelled. OnlyFans has been valued at £8 billion thanks to its adult content creators — the same value as film studios, Paramount. The creators on the platform keep 80% of the money their subscriptions generate — which means Bonnie could be about to lose out on the £600,000 she claims to make each month. Back in 2021, OnlyFans had even announced it was going to ban all adult content from its platform, but this ban lasted six days before the company U-turned. Bonnie's decision to join OnlyFans in 2021 stemmed from the fact that she wasn't feeling happy with the direction her life was going in – and wanted a new challenge. She previously told Metro that she had given up on her dreams of being a midwife because she didn't want to stay in education, so she began working in recruitment. 'I thought, is this what my life is going to be? I realised I wasn't happy with 80% of my life. I didn't want to get old thinking I wish I'd done more,' she explained. Once she realised it wasn't for her, she sold her house and moved to Australia to live a 'beach lifestyle.' Using her savings, she was able to give up work for two years. Not wanting her time in Oz to be the only 'highlight' of her life, she first began working as a cam girl, inspired by other women doing the same thing online. Almost instantly, she was earning £2,030 a week. 'I loved it – it gave me so much confidence,' she said. But it was her antics last year that placed Bonnie firmly in the spotlight, when she posted call outs for 'barely legal' teens or 'schoolies', to sleep with her, setting herself up in student-heavy areas in the UK. All encounters were filmed, even if she was taking the teen's virginity, which caused outrage online and earned her the label of a predator. She has refuted these claims and says her content is educational. Bonnie took her content to the next level on January 11, when she slept with 1,057 men in a single day. The 25-year-old OnlyFans star announced her record-breaking sex marathon with an inflammatory Instagram caption, writing: 'Over 1,000 men in a day! Thank you to all the barely legal, barely breathing and the husbands.' The sex worker thanked the men who took part, saying: '1,057 isn't possible without volunteers… thanks for the fluids boys. 'Honestly thank you so much because if it wasn't for you turning up putting your **** inside me I wouldn't have any of this whatsoever, and it really has changed my life. Hopefully I can continue pleasuring you.' Men were put into groups of five had two minutes with Bonnie collectively, while those who had sex with her alone had 30 to 45 seconds. To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Every man had penetrative sex with the OnlyFans star, although some also chose to have oral sex with Bonnie too. It's this type of extreme content that has led OnlyFans to take the decision to ban the star from its platform. It's not just Onlyfans that have taken issue with Bonnie's extreme challenges. Sophie Rain, 20, a leading OnlyFans creator and co-founder of Bop House – a collective of OF creators, hit out at Bonnie telling The Blast: 'It's no longer women empowerment. 'It's shock value, and she's making a joke out of all of us. We built this space to take control of our bodies and our finances, not to fake pregnancies, weddings, or throw cake at strangers in the street.' It appears she's also alluding to the fake pregnancy stunt pulled by Bonnie's rival Lily Phillips, who hit headlines after sleeping with 101 men in a day. More Trending 'Brands don't take us seriously anymore. Media doesn't take us seriously,' Sophie added. 'I'm tired of explaining that not all of us are doing circus acts for views.' To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video British broadcaster Ashley Louise James also challenged Bonnie back in November on This Morning on her 'predatory pursuit of teenage boys and her antagonistic (and outdated) attitudes to women'. She followed up on Instagram, saying: 'Bonnie has openly bragged about have sex with 'fresh 18 year olds' and has described it as 'babysitting adults' and even declared that she 'loves taking virginities'. 'I find this behaviour disturbing and predatory. I also find it deeply disturbing and disgusting that there are so many men and boys willing to queue up and have sex with her.'
