The professional dancer announced that he is expecting twins with girlfriend Hannah Summers after "years of trying".
Taking to Twitter to share their joy yesterday, the 50-year-old enthused: "Hannah and I are delighted to announce that we are expecting twins in the spring. We are over the moon!"
The British choreographer also shared an adorable snap which consisted of a top hat, cane and two sets of ballet shoes.
"Hannah and I are delighted to announce that we are expecting twins in the spring. We are over the moon!"
"We hear the tippety-tap of tiny feet," the star wrote alongside the sweet image.
It's claimed that the couple turned to IVF treatment after Hannah struggled to fall pregnant.
"Hannah didn't fall pregnant quite as quickly as they would have liked and it was a source of worry for them for a while," a source told The Sun on Sunday.
"Eventually they decided they wanted to try IVF treatment and they are delighted it has worked. Hannah is now more than three months pregnant and she seems to be coping very well," they added.

Express.co.uk has contacted Anton's representative for comment.
Anton is believe to have started dating businesswoman Hannah in 2007, just a short while after his split from TV presenter Caroline Feraday.
The dancer hasn't been shy about singing Hannah's praises, and gushed previously: "Performing was the 'woman' in my life, if you like - but then Hannah came along.
"She's just perfect. She's very beautiful, clever, but also really kind."
