British rock star announces he and his wife are expecting twins as they discover the gender of their unborn babies in heartwarming clip
Bring Me the Horizon's lead singer, Oli Sykes, revealed his wife is pregnant with twins in a wholesome Instagram video on Sunday.
The Kent-born rocker, 38, will be welcoming the children with his Brazilian spouse Victoria Alissa Salles Silva, who he wed in 2017.
Their heartwarming announcement on Sunday showed the loved-up couple sat at a table together anxiously waiting to bite into two cupcakes - the colour of which would reveal the gender of their babies.
With their dog eagerly perched by their side, Victoria says: 'Are you ready?' before biting into the first cake to reveal they will be having a girl.
Oli then takes a bite of his own iced cupcake, which displays blue, meaning the other baby will be a boy.
And the couple looked elated with the result of their gender reveal, with Victoria letting out a scream and her rock star husband crying: 'Oh my f****** god!'
The announcement sent fans into a frenzy, with the Instagram post gaining more than 250,000 likes and a host of stars congratulating the couple in the comments section.
Model Abbey Clancy wrote: 'Aaahhh so lovely'
Pretty Girl singer Maggie Lindemann also took to the comments, writing: 'Omg congratulations'.
While a clearly excited fan simply wrote: 'So unbelievably happy for you both!'
'Imagine you're a new born baby and your father is Oli Sykes... Biggest flex,' another quipped.
The news comes as Oli's band Bring Me The Horizon gear up to headline this summer's Reading & Leeds Festivals, which will go ahead on August's bank holiday weekend between the 21st and 24th.
The band have headlined the festival on one previous occasion, when they fronted it alongside Dave, Arctic Monkeys and The 1975 in 2022, and even invited Ed Sheeran on-stage.
Bring Me The Horizon will be joined by Chappel Roan and Utopia hitmaker Travis Scott as this year's headliners. Irish singer-songwriter Hozier will too play the festival.

Millions of Freeview watchers hit by big Channel 4 change and must re-scan TV boxes to keep popular channel
MILLIONS of Freeview watchers have been hit by a big channel change as viewers are urged to re-scan their TV boxes. Channel 4 has boosted Freeview coverage for one of its channels this month, meaning you'll need to retune to continue watching. As part of Freeview's monthly channel update, 4seven transitioned to a new frequency as of Wednesday 18 June. This is because of an important technical change to the way the Channel 4 offshoot channel is broadcast on Freeview. It will give more Freeview users access to the channel at a time when 4seven is increasingly used as an overspill for live events. 4seven has recently become the home of a selected number of men's European Championship U21 games, including Netherlands v Ukraine and Slovenia v Czechia. They have previously broadcast coverage of the Paralympic Opening and Closing Ceremonies. But for the time being, 4seven is broadcasting on both new and old frequencies. At the end of this transition period, the old copy of 4seven will carry a retune caption. But you can retune today to ensure continued reception of 4seven on channel 49. Following your retune, you should see 4seven on channel 49 and the old copy of 4seven on channel 790. What's better is the channel now has universal coverage on Freeview. It's now available to all viewers in the Channel Islands and Isle of Man in addition to UK viewers who can only receive a reduce Freeview channel line-up. If you're a viewer who only receives around 20 basic Freeview channels at your address, you can retune to add 4seven to channel 49. It's a big bonus to some viewers as some remote locations with reduced access to Freeview are also affected by poor internet speeds meaning they can't stream TV either. This follows a reconfiguration of the frequency that carries the main Channel 4 service on Freeview, meaning the 4seven signal can now be aired alongside its parent channel. Kay Burley joins This Morning in TV return after departure from Sky News It's not the only Freeview change seen this month either. Just last week it was announced that Rewind TV is now on channel 81. It has swapped places with Blaze +1 and is now the next-door channel to the vintage Talking Pictures channel. There's also a new shopping channel with Must Have Ideas setting up shop on channel 96. The service was previously exclusive to satellite TV such as Sky and on YouTube but a retune will now add the channel to your service. Millions of Freeview watchers can also enjoy three new channels this month. Starting from this week, viewers will be able to tune into a number of channels including ITV Quiz, a fresh channel dedicated to quizzes.
