Michelle Keegan shares sneak peek of baby daughter in sweet snap
Michelle Keegan took to social media to share another sweet sneak peek of her and Mark Wright's daughter, Palma, who was born in March Michelle Keegan has shared an adorable sneak peek at daughter Palma in a rare social media upload. The actress, 37, has slowed down posting her baby daughter on Instagram following her birth two months ago. Michelle, who shares baby Palma with husband Mark Wright, posted the cute black-and-white image on her grid on Tuesday. It showed the tot's feet, with Michelle writing: "Yep... my toes." It's the latest reveal from Michelle who seems to be flourishing in her new role as mother. Palma's aunt, Mark's sister Natalya Wright has also been posing with the baby. She took to Instagram last month, with the model & content creator sharing a collection of photographs from weeks gone by. Among the images were a number of her holding Palma in a variety of locations. The first photo showed Natalya holding her niece closely to her while they sat outside together. With the sun blazing above them, the duo were enjoying the shelter in the shade, while Palma sported a summer hat. Another image showed her expertly multitasking as she continued to carefully hold Palma while simultaneously bending down to stroke a dog. And a third snap showed Natalya relaxing on a sofa with Palma resting on top of her. In March, friends gushed how Mark and Michelle are in a perfect "love bubble" since the arrival of their first daughter. The baby - named after their Majorcan capital - was born at the beginning of March and was initially a very private moment. A source said at the time: 'They wanted to keep the news very private and bask in the glory of a new-born without any distractions without the world knowing. They are in a perfect love bubble with no external noises, and it's been total and utter bliss.' A frequent visitor to Michelle and Mark's £3.5million Essex mansion following Palma's arrival has been Michelle's mum. The couple even built a special 'granny flat' when they renovated their home to allow her to stay whenever she likes and for long periods. Jackie often stays at Michelle's home, posting pictures from the house at Christmas and January as she looked out over their expansive garden and pool. A source said she has been supporting Michelle since the birth. 'Jackie is over the moon to be a grandma,' they said. 'Palma is her first grandchild and she is besotted, as are the whole family. She's so proud of Michelle.' Prior to Palma's birth, Jackie had shared her excitement about becoming a grandma. "I'm am so excited," she wrote on Instagram in December, when people started calling her Grandma. Jackie - who also has son Andrew - and Michelle have a close relationship.

Meet Love Island Scot Alima Gagigo who is hoping for romance in the Majorcan villa this summer
Love Island is back for its 12th season next week and one Scottish singleton is hoping to find love in the sun this summer Scotland's very own Alima Gagigo is hoping to find love on this year's season of Love Island. The 23-year-old graduate hails from Glasgow and is swapping the rain for the Majorcan sun this summer as she heads into the world's most famous villa in a bid to find romance. The lineup for the 2025 Love Island cast was revealed earlier today (Tuesday), and Alima hopes to follow in the footsteps of the likes of gym boss Anton Danyluk, radio host Laura Anderson and singer Paige Turley, Scots who have all appeared on the ITV show throughout the years and captured the hearts of viewers. Self-proclaimed flirt Alima will be entering the villa this year in the hopes of finding her very own Prince Charming. The islander describes herself as a "good flirt" and reveals she has a go-to tactic when chatting up guys in clubs and bars across Glasgow, which she hopes will translate to the villa. She revealed, showing off her typical Scots sense of humour: "I always ask guys on a night out to guess which country I'm originally from. If they get it right, they can get my number. "But they never guess correctly so it works really well if you don't want to give a guy your number." Alima was bred in Glasgow and born in West Africa, as she went on: "I'm originally from Guinea Bissau. If they're close and I really fancy them, I'll give them my number anyway." The Scottish beauty revealed she likes "a tall man with a handsome face" and said her type on paper tends to be "Disney Prince". She went on: "You know when you just look at a guy and they have that Disney prince look to them? That's it." Singleton Alima has brains as well as beauty, as she studied at Glasgow Caledonian University from 2019, graduating with a BA Honours in International Business in July 2023. When she was studying she worked at Quiz, the high-street fashion retailer which was founded in Glasgow, as a store assistant. Since graduating, she's been working as a wealth management client services executive. Outside of her professional life, Alima boosts over 6.5k followers on Instagram - a number which will no doubt grow after her stint on the show. On her Instagram page, she shares snaps from all across the world, having posted photos from holidays in Malta, Lisbon, Mykonos, Paris, Ibiza and Morocco. She enjoys a glamorous lifestyle and is no stranger to a bikini, living it up on holiday as she has previously posted a photo of herself at Wayne Lineker's famous Ocean Beach Club in Ibiza - as well as other beach clubs in Marbella and Mykonos. And Alima must have made an impression on the Ibiza club owner, as Wayne also follows her on Instagram. She will be joining 11 other new singletons hoping to find love this summer. Let's hope Alima will be able to find her Prince Charming in the six boys hoping to make an impression - taxi driver Ben, gardener Tommy, personal trainer Dejon, water operative Kyle, construction project manager Blu and semi-professional footballer Harry. The five other girls on the OG lineup also include motivational speaker Sophie, payroll specialist Meg, cabin crew Helena, musical theatre performer Megan and marketing executive Shakira. You can take a look at the full lineup here. Love Island returns to ITV2 on Monday, June 9 at 9pm.
