Presenter Chris Evans and his wife Natasha Shishmanian are celebrating the birth of twins.

The couple's happy news was shared on Evans' BBC Radio 2 Breakfast Show by guest host Sara Cox on Thursday morning.

Cox read out a statement which said: "Ping and Pong arrived safe and well last night. Ping popped her head out at 22.10, Pong popped his head out 12 minutes later at 22 minutes past 10. Both healthy, both strong, happy and blessed, as was mum throughout.

"Infinite thanks to the amazing team at Frimley Park Hospital, amazing people, amazing professionals, helping dreams come true. Thank you."

Evans and Shishmanian married in 2007 and also have two sons, Noah, aged nine; and Eli, aged six.
