Ross Kemp shares first photo of newborn twins as he becomes a dad again age 53
ROSS Kemp has shared the first photo of his newborn twins after becoming a dad again at the age of 53.
The EastEnders star and his wife Renee O'Brien are now parents to two daughters called Ava and Kitty.
The actor took to Twitter to upload a picture of himself in the delivery room, posing with one of the doctors who helped deliver his girls.
He wrote: "BIG THANKS to Lawrence Impey and his team.
"Very happy Dad again!"
Ross later added a black and white picture of Renee in bed hold her daughters, and he revealed the babies' names.
He wrote: "Mum, Ava and Kitty doing well! Dad overjoyed. Thanks to all at the hospital!..."
Ross shared the snaps last night, but did not give any further details about when the little ones arrived.
Ross and Renee married in 2012 and are also parents to a son, who was born in 2015, but they have yet to confirm his name.
He also has another son with his ex-partner Nicola Coleman.
The actor previously told The Sun he is happy as an older dad: "I love throwing the boys around, rough and tumble, but also watching Peppa Pig together.

"I had kids late in my life.
"I used to be the guy that liked to go out partying and drinking, but I don’t do that any more and I don’t miss it."
The happy news comes after his Extreme World documentary series was axed by Sky after after six years.
A spokesperson for the channel said: "Our focus for Sky1 this year is offering customers even more great drama, comedy and factual entertainment.
"Going forward we are shifting away from commissioning factual shows on the channel, and Ross Kemp's Extreme World will be coming to an end after its upcoming series."
But Ross could end up back in EastEnders as he has admitted there is a possibility that his character Grant Mitchell could come back to Albert Square next year.
