Ross Kemp has share a snap beaming with his adorable baby twin daughters – born this week – and it’s the cutest darned thing we might ever have seen.
The hardman of TV looks like a gentle giant cradling this tiny bundles of joy on social media, alongside the caption: “Me and my girls.” Adorbs!
The proud new father had already treated fans to their first glimpse at his adorable daughters posing with their mummy.
The former EastEnders actor-turned-documentary maker, 53, announced on Thursday that he’d become a dad again after his wife Renee gave birth to two girls.
And clearly eager to show off the cute new arrivals, the acclaimed TV star yesterday posted a photo to Twitter showing the tiny babies all wrapped up while lying next to their mum.
He also revealed the girls’ beautiful names: Ava and Kitty.
As you’d expect, the ex soap hardman was inundated with congratulatory messages from both fans and famous friends, including Amanda Holden, Laurence Fox, Bobby Davro and fellow EastEnders star Laurie Brett.
Amanda wrote: “Gorgeous. Congratulations. Beautiful names xx.”
Former Lewis star Laurence added: “Huge congratulations.”
Comedian Bobby chipped in: “Congrats.”
While Laurie said: “Massive congrats… beautiful.”
Grinning from ear to ear, the former actor – who played Grant Mitchell in EastEnders – wrote: “BIG THANKS to Lawrence Impey and his team.
“Very happy Dad again!”
He is also a proud dad to two other children – one son from his previous relationship with Nicola Coleman and another little boy with wife Renee.
They chose not to publicly announce their first pregnancy and instead surprised fans in April 2015 by revealing Renee had safely delivered a baby boy.
Ross shared the news via social media, posting a photo of him cradling his new bundle of joy.
His caption read: “What a day! Mum and baby doing well, Dad very proud! 6lbs 7oz, born at 10:54am. Happy boy, asleep already!”
After leaving EastEnders, Ross made a name for himself as a hard-hitting documentary maker.
His series, Extreme World, sees him travel to several places around the globe to investigate extreme criminal activity and the often dark and seedy underworld.
In an interview with The Mirror last year, he said being a father had made the harrowing things he sees while filming even more upsetting.
“I get upset when I see kids getting hurt, which I have unfortunately seen in Afghanistan and Syria particularly. I get so angry with some people I want to kill them, to be honest,” he said.
“It upsets me, and more so now I’m a dad.”
Congrats to Ross and Renee!
