Ronnie Wood has an unexpected visitor drop by as he naps next to his twin girls
Singer shares funny snap of abseiler dropping by during naptime
NEW Dad Ronnie Wood is so devoted to his newborn twin girls that he even sleeps by their bedside during naptime – despite having drop-in visitors.
The 69-year-old Rolling Stones guitarist shared on Twitter a hilarious snap of him napping next to his twins in central London - as someone abseiled outside.
Unaware that the rocker was fast asleep just out of sight, the cheeky gate-crasher gave the cameraman a thumbs up as he zoomed past the bedroom window.
Ronnie captioned the pic: “While I was sleeping with the twins,” followed by several heart emojis.
Taken in Central London, the new family was staying in hospital just across the road from the Houses of Parliament – with Big Ben apparent in the background’s picturesque scenery.
Gracie Jane and Alice Rose were born just two days before the rocker’s 69th birthday when Ronnie’s wife went into labour early.
Ronnie was hoping that theatre producer Sally, 38, would go into labour on his birthday so they could share their special day together.
The sleepless nights that are sure to come from two newborns seems to have had little effect on Ronnie – who appeared later on Saturday with a spring in his step, despite looking tired.
