Race against time: Kelvin Fletcher’s wife Liz has revealed she had a 5am hospital dash before giving birth to twin boys
Liz told HELLO! magazine: ‘I woke up in the morning and my waters had broken.
‘I rang the hospital and they said to come in. Kelvin had to stay with the kids, so I drove myself to the hospital, which is an hour away, at 5am.
‘I was a bit panicky that Kelvin might miss the birth if it happened straight away. They did a scan and told me, “It’s going to be today.”‘
Recalling the moment they introduced the babies to their older siblings, she said: ‘Milo was like, “He’s heavy.” Marnie was kissing them. It was so cute.’
Kelvin added: ‘Even though Milo is only three, he knew instinctively to be really gentle with them. They’ve become more grown up overnight. Marnie has been a great little helper.’
Liz said: ‘The first week was just crazy – it was like a circus act when they’re spinning plates… I couldn’t physically pick up two babies at once, but now I can do it with two fingers!’
Kelvin added: ‘It feels like it’s always been like this.’
