Evans above: Chris reveals twins are on the way!

-

WHEN Chris Evans revealed his wife was undergoing IVF treatment, he described it as ‘one last hurrah’ in an attempt to have another child.

It’s now a double hurrah, after the 52-yearold BBC presenter announced yesterday that Natasha Shishmania­n, 38, is expecting twins.

Evans is already father to three children – Eli Alfred, five, and Noah Nicolas, eight, from his marriage to Ms Shishmania­n – and Jade, 31, from his relationsh­ip with Alison Ward.

The couple, married since 2007, have been open about their struggles to conceive. They had son Eli via IVF after Ms Shishmania­n suffered an ectopic pregnancy in 2010.

The presenter asked listeners on his BBC Radio 2 breakfast show for advice about having twins yesterday, then revealed: ‘Mrs Evans is double trouble, twin turbo.’

Evans, who has been married three times, fears Eli will have a ‘shock’ when they arrive.

‘We tried to tell him, he doesn’t quite get it yet. Eli is Mum’s best mate. That is going to change, my friend,’ he added.

Evans, pictured with Ms Shishmania­n, Eli and Noah revealed last year that his wife, a former profession­al golfer, was having more fertility treatment. He told guest Rob Brydon that his wife was ‘being harvested’ before explaining it was ‘an IVF thing’.

He added: ‘Mrs Evans has gone into hospital this morning at 7am – she is the field and there’s a harvest taking place this morning.

‘It’s a nice thing, we’re having one last hurrah, one last attempt at a fourth ankle biter.’

Twins are more common with fertility treatments due to doctors often implanting more than one embryo.
