In his second show since becoming a dad, Mark opened up about the experience to co-host Olly Murs saying it was his “biggest achievement.”

“Mate, it’s actually hard to put into words,” Mark said as he got emotional.

“It’s the biggest achievement of my life it’s all I think about but obviously hats go off to my wife she is an absolute super human, a superhero for bringing this baby into the world.”

Mark added:  “It makes you realise what our mums did for us and makes me have so much more respect than I already had and what women had to go through.

“It’s the best feeling in the world. I wake up every morning just so excited to see her face.”

Mark also spoke about the first time he got to hold his daughter.

“That moment when I held her in my arms, it gets me emotional now thinking about it,” he said.

The radio star also addressed the couple’s decision to focus on their careers before having children after tying the knot in 2015.
