A couple kept their twin pregnancy a secret from their family before surprising them with two babies instead of one – and a sweet video reveals the moment they broke the news.
Liam Shipway and Charli Bushen, both 29, have spoken openly about their pregnancy, but not about how many babies they were expecting.
The couple, from Somerset, then surprised Liam’s brother Tyler Shipway with the revelation.
The 25-year-old, who works as a care assistant in Exeter, drove 45 minutes to Taunton to meet his week-old nephew.

Tyler Shipway, who works as a care assistant in Exeter, drove 45 minutes to Taunton to meet his week-old nephew and was shocked to discover they had twins.
Tyler, wearing a grey sweatshirt, cargo pants and Nike sneakers, looked amazed as he stared into the camera.
“Whose person is that?” he asked before realizing and exclaiming, “Did you have twins?”
She still had Oliver in her arms when she smiled and said, “What the hell? Why didn’t you say anything? Oh my God.”
Liam then carefully placed little Reuben in his arms next to his brother as an excited Tyler proceeded to ask the couple what the newborns’ names are.
Tyler said: ‘When Charli started filming, I thought she was taking a photo so I had no idea what was about to happen.
“I was in shock, they never mentioned there were twins. I was completely stunned.”
Reuben James Bushen-Shipway and Oliver Liam Bushen-Shipway, both five months old, were born on February 27.
Tyler added: “I’ve never been so surprised before, honestly.”
