His twins gushed that the pups were “amazing”.

With a return glance to the camera, the Strictly judge quipped: “Double trouble.”

Anton’s caption to the video connected this family update to his role on Strictly Come Dancing.

He wrote: “My loves! I know that Craig and my outfits as the twins from The Shining was slightly unsettling on Saturday night. So I thought I’d share some cute twins that have joined our family to readdress the balance…. Meet ‘Fox’ and ‘Trot’.”

Last Saturday, Craig Revel Horwood and Anton dressed up as the Grady twins from The Shining for the Halloween special.
