With twins on the way, Strictly Come Dancing star Anton Du Beke and girlfriend Hannah Summers will soon have their hands full, so they have been making the most of any opportunity they get to spend quiet time together.
The 50-year-old dancer and his heavily pregnant partner, 41, could not hide their excitement when they were seen out walking in the warmer weather this week.
Having tried to conceive for years before turning to IVF, the couple are expecting a boy and a girl in May.

As well as his new role as a father, this year could bring other responsibilities for Du Beke, as he has been tipped to take over as a Strictly Come Dancing judge.
BBC bosses are expected to announce in April who will succeed Len Goodman, 72.

Other dancers who are thought to be in the running include fellow Strictly professional Brendan Cole and ‘ballroom giant’ Gary Edwards.
They announced their news in November when Du Beke was training constantly for the BBC dance series.
But now the TV show is over for another six months, the couple have been given time to prepare for their twins, who are due in around May.
The smiling couple were wrapped up against the cold for their walk, with Miss Summers opting for a loose-fitting striped jumper and Du Beke wearing a quilted jacket and scarf.
The professional dancer broke the news on Twitter: ‘Hannah and I are delighted to announce that we are expecting twins in the spring. We are over the moon!’
Suggesting he would like his children to go into dancing, he then posted a picture of a top hat, cane, and two sets of ballet shoes with the words: ‘We hear the tippety-tap of tiny feet.’
