ITV Love Island's Dani Dyer reveals identical twins' gender with sweet bump snap amid pregnancy milestone

Former Love Island star Dani Dyer has told fans the gender of her twins after announcing her shock pregnancy. The reality star announced earlier this month that she was awaiting the arrival of a double bundle of joy after finding out she and her boyfriend Jarrod Bowen were expecting their first children together.

Proud mum Dani took to her Instagram to reveal that she is pregnant again by sharing an adorable snap of her two-year-old son, whom she shared with ex Sammy Kimmence, posing with pictures from her ultrasound. The toddler also held up a sign saying: "I’m going to be a big brother to twins."

Another photo showed Dani, who is the daughter of ex-EastEnders star Danny Dyer, and Jarrod, both 26, beaming with joy as Jarrod gazed at her blossoming bump while a third snap showed the couple's hands placed over Dani's stomach.

She typed about their baby news: "We have been keeping a little secret...Our little TWINS. So excited to meet our babies and watch Santi be the best big brother. The biggest surprise of our lives but feeling SO blessed...our family is getting a lot bigger and we can’t wait."

Dani, who won the 2018 series of the ITV2 dating contest Love Island with Jack Fincham, then later confirmed that the twins will be identical. The reveal came as she shared the reaction of her TV star dad, who played Mick Carter in EastEnders, finding out the news. "Hold up. Are you f****** joking me?????" he asked in response

"Dad I can't believe it They missed it on the scan and now it's come up as identical twins," she told him. "WTF. Oh my f***** god," he exclaimed. And she cried jokingly: "Helppppppp," in a hilarious text exchange.

But in a fresh update on Wednesday (February 1), Dani revealed the gender of her and her West Ham player boyfriend's twins. "Half way our little darlings," the pregnant star began when captioning a snap of herself glowing as she cradled her growing bump in a figure-hugging grey dress.

She continued: "A lot of you have been asking on the gender of our babies and we are so excited to share with you all that we are having identical twin girls." Concluding her post, Dani added: "Any tips/ recommendations I am so open too."

And the comments section was soon being filled with sweet messages. @mollymaefansxx said: "Identical twin girls. Oh Dani, how magical!! congratulations to you all, I’m made up for you and your family." @chloe_lauren_xx wrote: "So excited for you!! I have identical twin girls and it’s the best." @

@nich_love_my_boys replied: "Identical twin girls wow how amazing.. they will have a big brother to look after them. Congratulations." @lucy_browell added: "Awww that’s the dream! Two girls and a boy! Congratulations." And there was also plenty of advice for Dani to take on board."

@kjaney14 commented: "Get ready for the whirlwind that is girls. An absolute education after having a boy first they’re brilliant." @fee121314 replied: "Twin girls here too! Get ready for trouble but the best kind of trouble ever." @jennybraids shared: "My twin girls turned 6 yesterday…just go with the flow & accept all the help going. If anyone offers to do some laundry or cook u a meal….let them!! Youll be busy enough - But I wouldn’t change my twin journey for the world." @beccalindsay85 added: "Twin mum here routine routine routine!!!"
