Strictly Come Dancing judge Anton Du Beke has revealed his three-word reaction to finding out his wife was expecting twins.

Speaking on Giovanna Fletcher's Happy Mum, Happy Baby Podcast, Anton shared the emotional journey he and his wife Hannah Summers underwent through IVF to have their children, George and Henrietta.

He confessed to being "stunned" when he found out Hannah was pregnant with twins.

Anton recalled: "And he [the doctor] goes, 'Ah; there's one heartbeat', and I go, 'Where? ' And he's fiddling around and then he goes, 'Ooh; there's another heartbeat', and I was stunned. And I went...I say, it's a rude word; I apologise and I went, 'F**k me, babe'."

Overwhelmed, Anton could only muster a "well done" to Hannah, who then suggested a trip to the golf club, leading him to respond: "Well, do you think I could?"

In 2023, Anton, who first met Hannah at a golf club in 2011 and married her in 2017, spoke candidly about their fertility struggles, including Hannah's battle with endometriosis.

On the Parenting Hell podcast, he lauded Hannah as "practically perfect" and fondly proclaimed she was "everything I thought she would be".

He commented: "I thought she'd be an excellent mum, always knew she'd be a great mum but she couldn't have children. I thought, 'Isn't it funny how nature works in mysterious ways? '".

Anton reflected on the "sad irony" of his partner's natural inability to conceive despite his belief that she "would be an incredible mum". Their luck turned when they had children through IVF.

Describing their IVF experience, he mentioned that Hannah, who is the chief marketing officer at AdaptiveMobile, underwent "blood tests, injections every day".

The Strictly celebrity also expressed: "But as we had IVF we were able to have them in the end and I'm thrilled for me - because I'd have 100 [kids] by the way, because I love them.

"But I'm thrilled for Hannah because she is amazing at it."
