There’s no doubt about it, the arrival of their daughter has been nothing short of wonderful, but in a new clip, Mark joked that her birth had coincided with what would have been a major milestone in his career.
In a new video shared by Heart Radio, Mark could be seen chatting with his personal “hero” and Hollywood legend, Robert De Niro on an online call. “When I lived in LA, I interviewed nearly everybody in your field, and the one person I never got to do who I wanted to do was yourself,” he began.
“So when it came up that you were coming into Heart I was like ‘Yes!’ and then my wife decided to have a baby which means I can’t get into the studio” Mark told the A-lister.

For Mark, becoming a father has been an incredibly emotional experience and one that has given him a whole new perspective. “It’s made me realise what life is all about and my little baby Palma, I love you so much. I can’t wait to spend my life with you,” he said on his radio show.
Chatting with his pal and colleague, Olly Murs, Mark continued: “It’s the best feeling in the world. I wake up every morning just so excited to see her face. Every time I wake up, I’m like ‘Oh she’s there!’
“And that moment when I held her in my arms. I mean, it gets me emotional just thinking about it, but it’s just…I suppose everything else goes out the window.
