It’s believed the couple chose the name Palma because of their strong links to Mallorca, their go-to holiday destination and the setting for their pregnancy reveal photoshoot.  

Former Coronation Street star Michelle, 37, married Mark, 37, in May 2015 and the couple live together in an Essex mansion they built from scratch.

Heart Radio host Mark, who rose to fame on ITVBe series TOWIE, is an uncle to footballer brother Josh’s two children as well as sister Jess’s son and had spoken at length over the years about wanting to become a father himself one day.
