Life as parents

Michelle's husband Mark opened up about how dad life is going since welcoming their daughter.

"Don't talk to me about tired right now," he quipped to his co-host, singer Olly Murs. 

"Because Palma, my little baby, is making me extremely tired. I turned up this morning and Olly went 'You look shattered.'" 

"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," Olly chimed in.

"Yeah, they say dad bod don't they, they never warn you about dad eyes," Mark joked. 

The TOWIE alum couldn't be happier with his new life, despite the constant exhaustion. "It is the best thing ever," he said. "Except when I am trying to wind her after a bottle at 2 am - nightmare."
