Steve Backshall has thanked fans for their "overwhelming" amount of love after he and his wife Helen Glover announced that they are expecting twins. Taking to his Instagram page on Wednesday, the Wildlife expert has jokingly asked his followers for help. "THANKYOU all so much for your kindness," he wrote in the caption. "@helenglovergb and I are completely overwhelmed. Any advice on how to deal with twins will be much appreciated!!!!"
Helen Glover and Steve Backshall are set to become first-time parents
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."
