Christine McGuinness stunned at son Leo's unusual birthday present request

Christine McGuinness told of her shock today as her son Leo revealed what he really wanted for his birthday.

Christine and Paddy's twins Leo and Penelope celebrated their seventh birthday today.

Both parents posted a gushing tribute to their children on their special day, but former Miss Liverpool Christine took to her Instagram story later in the day to tell fans about Leo's hilarious present request.

The mum-of-three said: "Thank you so much for my twins birthday messages. I can't believe my Leo and Penelope are seven.

"They've changed my life, they're the most absolutely amazing, incredible little people on the planet, they are just gorgeous.

"But Leo shocked me today he said that he didn't get everything he wanted for his birthday, because he wanted a baby brother.

"I was just like where did that even come from, but yeah my husband's had the snip so not quite sure how to explain to him that you definitely won't be getting a baby brother.

"I actually thought about it for a minute, I was like broody for a minute, just cus I want to give my kids everything they want.

"But yeah I suppose best not, I need a holiday, not a baby."

Leo and Penelope's birthday strangely falls on the same day as Christine mum's and Christine paid tribute to her mum on social media.

Taking to Instagram Christine said: " My twins were born on my mums birthday! it’s Nanny's birthday today too.

"Big happy birthday to me Maaa, I love the way you love my babies, Thank you for everything you do!

"Triple birthday party this weekend."
