Strictly's Anton Du Beke cries as he talks about wife's 'incredible' strength during IVF

Anton Du Beke broke down in tears as he spoke about his wife and the strength she showed while going through IVF.

The Strictly Come Dancing professional, 53, was on ITV's Loose Women on Wednesday to talk about their struggles to have children before they became parents to twins Henrietta and George, two.

He called his wife of two years Hannah Summers, 42, a "remarkable mum" and had to pause because he became teary.

At the end of the interview Anton had to be handed tissues as he began to cry again when he watched an adorable video of their children dancing.

Anton said: "I always get a bit emotional when I talk about this, it's a nightmare.

"Everyone's mum is the best mum in the world but Hannah is a remarkable mum and wife.

"She's the most brilliant person I've ever met."

Hannah has endometriosis and had to go through IVF to fall pregnant.

Anton had to help give her hormone injections and admits he was terrified he was hurting her.

He said: "The process is remarkable and I take my hat off to Hannah and women in general doing this. It's an incredible thing."

Anton added: "It brought us closer together, it's a shared experience.

"I felt like I gave myself up to Hannah because I was like 'What do you need? What do you want?

"I did everything because she's the one who was going through it."

*Loose Women airs weekdays at 12.30pm on ITV
