Made in Chelsea's Ollie Locke reveals children's celeb godfather as This Morning star in adorable post
It's been nearly a year since Ollie Locke and his husband Gareth welcomed twins into the world - but we finally know who their godfather is and he's big on This Morning!
Made in Chelsea star Ollie announced in August last year that he had become father to son Apollo and daughter Cosimo, who were brought into the world via surrogate Rebecca 'Bex' Ward. Considering Ollie and Gareth's star-studded friendship group, it's no surprise that the twins have a famous godfather - who's been revealed as TV presenter Gok Wan.
This Morning's Gok shared the exciting news on Instagram on Friday, alongside a series of adorable photos with his new godchildren. "Today I met my newest God Children," he wrote.
"#Cosi #Apollo are just every shade of perfect @ollielockeworld @garethplocke." In one photo, Gok is seen posing with the baby twins and their dads Ollie and Gareth, while in another, he's holding one of their cute little hands.
Meanwhile, Ollie's MIC co-stars Sophie Hermann and Liv Bentley are the babies' godmothers, with Ollie revealing the news to OK! last year.
Gok and Ollie have been friends for years - and even admitted to sharing a cheeky snog back in Ollie's single days. Speaking to Vicky Pattison on her podcast in 2022, Ollie said: "Gok has been one of my best friends for ten years.
"We did Chatty Man together years ago - and we actually ended up snogging at the end of the night, hilariously. Anyway, we never snogged again after that but he became once of my closest friends."
A surprised Vicky then chimed in: "Was it that bad?"
"No!" Ollie insisted in reply. "I think we just realised we were only doing it because we were p****d!"
Ollie has since moved on with husband Gareth, who he married in 2020. Since the twin's arrival, the couple have opened up about life as new fathers - admitting that the "hardest moment" was when Apollo was rushed to Accident and Emergency.
"We got a phonecall at 4.30am after he was born was to say he wasn't doing very well. He was rushed from Durham to Sunderland blue-lit because he wasn't breathing," he said on James Bye and Vogue Williams' podcast Taboo Talk.
"It was one of those moments in life that you never want, you never want to have that phonecall. That was one of the hardest moments of my life."
