It may only be November, but Christmas is on the way. It seems that Michelle Keegan is ready for the festive season, as she took her adorable daughter Palma to a garden centre.
Holding the hand of little Palma, who turns two in March, Michelle watched as the tot looked on in wonder, taking in the bright lights and seasonal decorations.

"Me and mum took Palma today, and watching her eyes light up the way mine used to was magical."
Palma could be heard excitedly saying: "Wooooooow!" as she took it all in.
Palma's special bond with her cousin
On Sunday, the former Coronation Street star enjoyed a day out with her lookalike cousin, Katie, who brought her son, Brody.

Michelle Keegan on motherhood
Speaking to Grazia in September, the Manchester-born actress made some rare comments on motherhood, when musing on her latest role in ITV drama The Blame. "Listen, I think I went in blinded", she remarked. "Obviously I agreed to the role before I had Palma, because I was so excited by it. I think you just believe that you're going to be fine. And of course I can do it; loads of women work full-time and are a mum. But it is hard. It's really hard.'
The star added: "I had long days and had to go home and learn a lot of lines for the next day and be fresh, but still look after the baby at night when she was up. Luckily, Mark's brilliant; he's a great partner, and he's such a good dad as well."
Speaking about working mum life, she quipped: "Thank God I've got the support system with Mark, and his family and my family have been brilliant as well. But I'm not going to lie. It's tough… I'm absolutely shattered."
