TOWIE's Frankie Essex gives birth to twins as star says she has 'double the love'

Former The Only Way Is Essex star Frankie Essex has given birth to twins.

The reality star, 34, welcomed her newborn babies – a boy and a girl, with partner Luke Luv, 32.

Announcing the happy news with OK! Magazine, she gushed: “Double the love. Our baby bears have arrived” accompanied by two bear emojis and a pink and a blue heart.

Frankie also shared a black and white snapshot of partner Luke carrying the non-identical twins in their car seats through the corridor of the hospital.

The 34-year-old announced the news that she was expecting back in February.

After announcing the news, Frankie said that she was “over the moon” that they were expecting two babies.

“It was such a shock, but it’s a blessing and we are so over the moon. It’s amazing. As soon as we told the family, I asked if twins run on either side and as far as we all know, they don’t,” she revealed to new! magazine.

She also admitted she only came off the pill last year and was shocked when she found out she was expecting so soon after.

“The lady scanning me was focusing on one baby and was then like, ‘What else do we have here then?’ and I was so shocked and asked, ‘Are we having twins?’ I burst out crying, tears of happiness. It was just so beautiful. It was lovely,” she confessed to the publication.

Frankie has been with her personal trainer boyfriend for three years, and revealed he has been incredibly supportive throughout her pregnancy.

“If he catches me trying to vacuum, he’ll just take it off me!,” she quipped.

The TOWIE star also explained that her younger brother Joey Essex can’t wait to become an uncle.

Frankie said: “He is so excited. His face was the best – I’ve got a video of him reacting,” she said before adding “He just kept smiling all day. He checks up on me. He and Luke are really close, which is really nice.”
