Strictly Come Dancing star Anton du Beke admits that he wanted to name baby twins Antoine and Antoinette on This Morning

STRICTLY Come Dancing star Anton Du Beke admitted that he had thought about a number of names for his twins - though his suggestions haven't gone down quite so well with his partner Hannah.

The 50-year-old dancer, who is expecting a boy and a girl with partner Hannah Summers, was being interviewed on This Morning when he was asked whether he had any names for the twins.

He revealed: "Well, I've had me eye on a couple of names but it's met with a cold stare every time I mention it from Hannah.

"I thought Antoine and Antoinette, it's just a beautiful name... I think they're lovely names but I didn't get a good response."

Anton added that he was "really excited" but said: "Whether I was going to have children wasn't a definite."

He then went on to gush about his partner: "Hannah is completely wonderful and fabulous and perfect."

The dancer first exclusively told The Sun about the news in November.

He told the Sun on Sunday: “Hannah and I are delighted to announce that we are expecting twins in the spring. We are over the moon!”

Anton, named as a possible replacement for departing judge Len Goodman, has been dating Hannah for six years after they met at a golf club.

A source said: “Anton and Hannah are very happy together, and they decided some time ago that they were both ready to have children.

“Hannah didn’t fall pregnant quite as quickly as they would have liked and it was a source of worry for them for a while.

“Eventually they decided they wanted to try IVF treatment and they are delighted it has worked.

“Hannah is now more than three months pregnant and she seems to be coping very well.”
