Michelle Keegan and Mark Wright are no doubt basking in their newborn bubble as they adjust to being first-time parents. Announcing she had given birth earlier this month, the new mum revealed on Instagram: "Together we have a new love to share… Our little girl. Palma Elizabeth Wright 06.03.25."
Luckily, the former Coronation Street star and her husband Mark appear to have an extra helping hand around the house in the form of Michelle's mother, Jackie, who has shared a number of photographs with her grandchild, Palma.
Jackie, who has reportedly moved in with her daughter and son-in-law to offer a pillar of support amid Palma's arrival, shared a beautiful photo of her view of Epping forest taken from Mark and Michelle's £3.5 million home.
