Chatting to HELLO!, Liz said: "Marnie has come into her own. She’s a little farmer at heart!" Kelvin added: "We went to a sheep show and Marnie went into the show ring with her white jacket on, showing her little lamb. She got a rosette for fourth place. It sounds daft but Liz and I were crying."

Liz continued: "We were the only farmers there crying our eyes out! We’d only been farming for about three months, and there she is smiling, acting confident. We’ve turned their lives upside down with this. They’re used to soft plays and racing around on the street."

Milo is also enjoying the farm life, as Liz explained: "We had to move sheep the other day and he was doing the whistling noises. We couldn’t be prouder. We’re so happy that they get to live this life."

The pair discovered that they were expecting twins and shared the exciting news on BBC Breakfast on Monday, with Kelvin explained: "We just recently found out, to add another curveball if you like. We don't really do things by halves and then we found out we're having not just one baby, but two!

"So we're having twins/ It was an absolute eye-opener. So come May, we'll be delivering lambs for the first time. I'm not going to be delivering babies as such but it is going to be a really busy time!"
