Anton, 51, had previously joked he was leaning towards the names Antoine and Antoinette – but wife Hannah wasn’t as keen!

He said on This Morning ahead of his children’s births: “We [know it’s a boy and a girl]. I’ve had my eye on a couple of names, but it’s sort of met with a cold stare every time I mention it from Hannah.

“I thought Antoine and Antoinette are just beautiful – gorgeous! I think they’re lovely names!”

Anton announced the twins’ births on March 30 last year, telling fans: “Oh my! The little dancing feet have arrived. Mum and twins are perfect and dad is ridiculously excited!”

The Strictly star married Hannah – a chief marketing officer for a mobile network security company – shortly after the twins’ arrivals.

He previously spoke out about being an older first-time father, telling This Morning

“Whether I was going to have children or not was never a definite decision I’d made in my life, but the one thing I did know is I wanted to have children with someone I wanted to spend the rest of my life with and that was the most important thing.

“Hannah is completely wonderful, fabulous and perfect, so this makes perfect sense.”

Meanwhile, Anton told Tess during their Heart FM chat that life has certainly changed now he and Hannah have twins!

He said: “Let me tell you what you don’t do anymore. You don’t pop anywhere! You don’t just go, ‘I’m popping to the shops!’

“You don’t do any of that. You have to coordinate everything and if you miss out or get the timings wrong and go across bottle time or sleep time, disaster!

“The amount of times we’ve had to pull over in a street and do feeding times – and don’t let them sleep before you get home!”
