Olivia added: ‘I knew it. You make me emotional.’
Ollie shared the video on social media and wrote: ‘So what babies do we have… this was a great afternoon with you @garethplocke @bex7ward @oliviabentleyk Xx’
It comes after the reality star shared a heartwarming update from his surrogate who received a scan last month when she was mid-pregnancy.
Ollie shared a lovely photo of Rebecca getting a scan and a video of the ultrasound at 20 weeks which showed the babies are doing ‘great’.
He also showed Rebecca looking gorgeous rocking her growing baby bump as they prepared to welcome the twins in the summer.
Alongside the post, Ollie wrote the good news: “Just some Sunday love to you all. We are almost 20 weeks further and @bex7ward is growing fast and looks so incredibly beautiful!
“Both babies are doing great and knowing they will be here soon and they are so ridiculously loved by us and already made so much all of our lives Xx”

Earlier last month, children’s author Gareth told Hello!, “As we approach the finish line, things are getting much more real.”
“It felt like our lives were on hold, but now it feels like we’re moving forward. The arrival of babies has breathed new life into everything.’
Ollie revealed that they were expecting twins in February in a post that read, ‘We are beyond excited to finally be able to share the news that we are expecting twin baby Locke-Locke this summer!
“You have all been so amazing during the last 3 years of trying to start a family and we promise to share every step of this adventure with you all.
“For all those who are on their own journey to becoming parents, we are with you sending all the baby dust your way!
Thank you to our sensational surrogate @bex7ward for being the most incredible human being, the love we have for you and your family is just another level! Xx.’
It came after Ollie and Gareth spoke out in December after their surrogate suffered a miscarriage.
It came just days after Ollie and Gareth announced that their surrogate had conceived after their third round of IVF, after the couple suffered a miscarriage six weeks pregnant in 2021 during their first round of fertility treatments.
The couple shared the heartbreaking news with Ollie admitting he felt ‘demasculine’ that they were unable to conceive until now.
On the Bali special of the E4 show MIC, Ollie said, “We just can’t believe it happened again.”
Gareth added: ‘This is our third time. Every time it’s like… “Oh well, next time it will for sure.”
“It feels like every time you have to redo it, it feels like it’s a little bit, a step further away.”

“Obviously we are in a very fortunate position, we can go again. But you know it’s not, it’s not easy.’
In December 2021, Ollie and Gareth shared how their surrogate suffered a tragic miscarriage at six weeks.
In July 2021, the couple – who married in November 2020 – said their first IVF attempt had failed.
The miscarriage came after their first attempt to have a baby through IVF in 2021 was unsuccessful.
