Fans immediately rushed to post comments, with one suggesting: "A routine! They tend to tag team too. Freeze lots of food as you’ll be too busy/tried to cook. Get the sleep in now....life changing, but all worthwhile!" Another said: "Listen to advice but trust your own instincts. All children are different and what works for one parent does not work for another. Enjoy the journey of parenthood it’s a bumpy ride but so worth it." A third post read: "I've not got twins, but I've got two teenage girls. My advice! Start saving."

Steve, 44, and Helen, 31, announced that they are expecting twins this summer. When sharing their happy news, the Olympic rower took to Twitter to post snaps, one of her showing off her growing baby bump, while another was a photo of her husband lying on the grass and looking at two chicks. "Soooo... The biggest adventure of our lives… 2 little chicks of our own arriving this summer!!! @SteveBackshall," she tweeted. Meanwhile, her husband wrote: "On the boat with my three favourite people; seems this summer we’ll have some wee ones of our own." This will be the first children for Helen and Steve. The couple tied the knot in a wedding exclusively covered by HELLO! magazine in September 2016, in Cornwall.
