‘I suppose everything else goes out the window and its made me realise what life is all about and my little baby Palma I love you so much and I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life with you.
‘It’s a very special feeling. I cant really put it into words. We’ve waited a little bit of time, we’ve chased our dreams and our careers and now we’re here. We’ve got a baby.’
Returning to work just days after her birth he revealed he would be facetiming his family in the song breaks as he added: ‘I am in the studio now I miss her badly now but in a couple hours I will be home to her.
‘I’m about to facetime the little one now to see how she is.’
Mark also joked about the lack of sleep as he teased: ‘I am absolutely all over the shop I’m not gonna lie. It feels like evening, it feels like breakfast but one things for sure I feel good I feel happy.’
