The 'Strictly Come Dancing' star has become a father for the first time at the age of 50 after his partner Hannah Summers gave birth to two healthy babies - a boy and a girl.

Taking to Instagram, he wrote: "Oh my! The little dancing feet have arrived. Mum and twins are perfect and dad is ridiculously excited! (sic)"

Anton and Hannah announced the news they were expecting in November last year after undergoing IVF treatment.

He said at the time: "Hannah and I are delighted to announce that we are expecting twins in the spring. We are over the moon!"

Whilst a source added: "Anton and Hannah are very happy together, and they decided some time ago that they were both ready to have children. Hannah didn't fall pregnant quite as quickly as they would have liked and it was a source of worry for them for a while.

"Eventually they decided they wanted to try IVF treatment and they are delighted it has worked. Hannah is now more than three months pregnant and she seems to be coping very well."

The pair then revealed a month later that they were expecting a boy and a girl and Anton admitted it was an "unbelievable" feeling knowing he was going to become a father.

He shared: "We had our baby scan - we found out they are definitely babies! We are going to have one of each ... You can't describe how it feels, it's very difficult to describe. It's unbelievable."

Since the couple announced the news, well wishes have flooded in from his fellow 'Strictly' stars.

'Strictly' champion Ore Oduba wrote on Instagram: "‪Who's the daddy!!!? There's only one @mrantondubeke... Now there are two brand new Du Bekes in the Strictly family! ‬so happy for Anton and Hannah #twins #DuBekeDouble (sic)"

Whilst fellow contestant Daisy Lowe wrote on social media: "Congratulations sweetheart!!!! Those little twinkle toed twins are lucky to have you! All my love to you and your gorgeous family (sic)"
