Anton du Beke was extremely nervous in the lead up to his wife’s pregnancy.
The ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ professional and his wife Hannah Summers – who welcomed twins in March – had turned to IVF to conceive and Anton admits it was a tough time but he couldn’t be more proud of Hannah for going through such an "ordeal".
He said: "When you’re going down that road, it’s difficult to explain. I can’t say there was ever a day that went by when I wasn’t nervous about the whole thing.
"Hannah was remarkable – incredibly brave and resilient. It’s quite an ordeal for ladies, IVF. All I could do is support her. I couldn’t say. ‘I’ll take the injections today.’ I was enormously proud of her."
And now the babies are born, Anton adores everything fatherhood has to offer.
He added to OK! magazine: "I can’t imagine doing it without FaceTime! Hannah is astonishing. Without Hannah it wouldn’t work. They’re seven months old and they’re doing wonderfully.
"They’re wonderful when they interact together. The rules were they were to move like me and look like their mum and it looks like it’s happening!"
It comes after Hannah revealed Anton "loves" getting up in the middle of the night to feed his twins.
She shared: "I am expressing and he takes the bottle so he can feed in the night. He is really involved. I said it would not be that much longer they will be feeding in the night, and Anton said he would miss it. How many men say that?"
Whilst Anton added: "I can’t tell you how much I love it. They are now eight weeks and it goes in a heartbeat. They are not sickly babies. They sleep well and they are calm. They sleep at the same time."
