MICHELLE Keegan’s mum has shared an adorable new snap of baby Palma.

This comes just hours after actress daughter enjoys a cosy date night at home with her husband Mark Wright.

Baby Palma was wrapped in a pastel yellow knitted blanket with her name emblazoned in white.

Her head was carefully rested on her grandmother's shoulder in a sweet embrace.

A beige bow headband was also delicately wrapped around the young tot's head.

The caption of the adorable grid post read: “It's the little cuddles that are the best.”

This comes just hours after the star shared a sneak peek of her cosy date night at home with her husband, Mark, 38.

The Brassic actress has been lying low in recent weeks following the birth of the couple's first child.

She captioned the snap of the mouth-watering meal: “Homemade Lasagne & garlic bread [courtesy] of @wrighty_.”
