A couple kept their twin pregnancies a secret from their family, but ended up surprising them with two babies instead of one. A cute video shows the moment they announced the news.
Liam Shipway and Charli Bushen, both 29, have opened up about their pregnancies, but not about how many children they are expecting.
The Somerset couple then surprised Liam’s brother, Tyler Shipway, with the revelation.
The 25-year-old, who works as a carer in Exeter, drove 45 minutes to Taunton to meet his week-old nephew.
Heartwarming footage shows Tyler cuddling newborn baby Oliver as Liam brings his little brother Reuben into the room.

Tyler, dressed in a gray hoodie, cargo pants and Nike sneakers, looked surprised into the camera.
“Whose is that?” he asked, before it dawned on him and he exclaimed, “You had twins?”
He was still hugging Oliver in his arms when he smiled and said, “What the f***, why didn’t you say anything? Oh my God.”
Liam gently placed little Reuben in his arms, next to his brother, as Tyler emotionally asked the couple what newborn babies are called.
Tyler said: ‘When Charli started filming, I thought she was taking a picture, so I had no idea what was going to happen.
‘I was completely shocked – they never talked about twins. I was completely bewildered.’
Reuben James Bushen-Shipway and Oliver Liam Bushen-Shipway, both now five months old, were born on February 27.
Tyler added: “I’ve never been so shocked.”
