Hollyoaks favourite Kieron Richardson and his husband Carl Hyland treated their twins to an adorable party on their fourth birthday.
The couple hosted a birthday bash festooned with dinosaurs, a unicorn, dreamy pink, purple, green and yellow balloons and their twins Phoebe and Chase had their own teepee.
Kieron, who plays Ste Hay in the Channel Four soap, shared photos from their special day with his Instagram followers.
"Happy 4th birthday Phoebe and Chase," he wrote.
Former co-star Sophie Austin, who played nurse Lindsey Butterfield, said: "Happiest birthday."
Jennifer Metcalfe, who plays Mercedes McQueen, told him: "What a gorgeous day we all had."
Chelsee Healey, who plays Goldie McQueen, said: "Happy birthday beautifuls."
And Hollie-Jay Bowes, who played Michaela McQueen, said: "Happy birthday angels."
Kieron and Carl welcomed their twins via a surrogate in 2017.
Last year the Eccles-born actor said he quit social media over one of his harrowing soap storylines.
Kieron, 35, stepped away from Twitter after he received cruel trolling over the programme's radicalisation storyline which saw Ste groomed by Jonny Baxter, who was played by Ray Quinn, leading him to join a right wing extremist group and committing racist acts.
He told OK! Magazine : "I had people saying things like ‘you're teaching your kid to be racist. You're an irresponsible parent.'
"I just couldn't deal with people saying things about my kids."
Carl added: "When I see those comments, I want to retaliate but then I'm becoming a keyboard warrior myself and I don't want to do that."
Kieron and Carl revealed their delight at becoming dads after several failed IVF attempts since their marriage in 2015.
Kieron has been a stalwart of Hollyoaks since 2006 playing Ste.
Last summer Hollyoaks fans were excited when Kieron returned to the soap as popular character Ste a year after the conclusion of the far-right storyline.
Since returning to Hollyoaks village Ste has become a reformed character while striking up a new romance with solicitor James Nightingale.
Kieron took a break to star in Kay Mellor's stage show Band Of Gold.
Since his arrival in 2006 Kieron's character has battled alcohol and drug addiction, got two different women pregnant and been made homeless.
Back in 2008 Ste battered his ex partner Amy Barnes in brutal scenes which saw her walk out on him.
He then went on to have a passionate relationship with drug dealer Brendan Brady, played by Emmett J Scanlan, and Ste became the victim of Brendan’s violent attacks.
In 2015 he worked with sexual health charity Terrence Higgins Trust on a storyline that saw Ste diagnosed as HIV positive - the first time a British soap had featured a gay character living with HIV.
And in 2017 he was part of a whodunit plot which saw Amy murdered on her wedding day, and the killer turned out to be her husband Ryan Knight.
