Coronation Street beauty Michelle wrapped her arm around the child's waist while she held the glass of water for the tot to take a sip.

The Our Girl actress has a huge smile on her lips as her eyes fixed solely on the child in the cosy Instagram post.

Mark gave his biggest hint that the married lovers could be ready to start a family together when he captioned the picture: 'Getting the practise in.'

Sparks first flew when the couple started dating back in December 2012, which is now five years ago.

They were engaged in September 2013 and went onto tie the knot in May 2015, so it is no surprise that the former TOWIE star has babies on the brain.

Despite Mark's hints, Michelle recently revealed she has 'no plans' to have children in the near future because it is not 'realistic' in a Women's Health magazine interview.

In October 2017, the actress did however confess she has 'always been broody' and she would love to have 'four' kids.

She told the publication: 'We’ve not planned anything and realistically nothing can happen right now because I’m too busy. But I’ve always been broody. I love kids and I want four, so hopefully in the near future.'

They are finally getting to spend some quality time together over the festive period as they plan to have their second Christmas together as husband and wife.

The married lovebirds have spent the good part of eight months apart due to their intense work schedules.

Speaking of their time apart, a source told The Mirror in recent weeks: 'Michelle and Mark have spent most of the year apart and it has not been easy.'

'In 2018, Michelle is determined they don’t spend as much time away from one another.'
