MAFS UK's Holly Ditchfield gives birth to twins at 23 weeks

Although her relationship with Married At First Sight UK husband Alex Henry didn't work out, series nine star Holly Ditchfield went on to find love with TikTok star Aaron Summers, with the pair announcing earlier this year that they were expecting twins!

Now, four months ahead of her due date, Holly has shared the news that she's given birth to her twins boys at 23 weeks and five days, with both babies weighing just over 1lb.

Posting a black and white video to her Instagram page, dubbed to Coldplay's 'Yellow', Holly revealed her boys are called Georgie and Marley, and currently showing 'impeccable reactions' to the treatment and care they are receiving in NICU.

She wrote: 'The last few days have been some of the scariest, most surreal and emotional moments of our lives. 🤍

'On 26.08.26, our two beautiful boys, Georgie & Marley Summers, entered the world at just 23 weeks + 5 days. 🩵🩵

'👶🏼 Georgie — 1lb 1oz — born at 16:29pm

'👶🏼 Marley — 1lb 2oz — born at 16:30pm

'Our tiny boys may be incredibly small, but they have already shown us just how incredibly strong they are. They are both doing amazing and showing absolutely impeccable reactions to all the treatment and care they are receiving in NICU. 🥹🤍'. (sic)

Holly went on to thank the hospital staff, adding: 'Both Aaron and I cannot thank the care team enough for everything they have done for us — not just during the boys’ arrival, but throughout the time leading up to it too.

'I was faced with things I never imagined I would have to experience, and the support we received made me feel so safe, heard and protected. Having to prepare for the arrival of two premature babies at just 23 weeks was something I was never prepared for, but the care, reassurance and constant support from the incredible teams around us helped carry us through.

'The promise that they would keep me safe during my C-section and give our boys the very best possible chance meant more to us than I could ever put into words. It has completely changed the way I look at everything we have been through.

'I also hope everyone can respect that I haven’t been active over the last few days. My only priority has been getting myself as fit, well and strong as possible to safely deliver my boys and, since their arrival, being there for them and focusing on our little family. 🤍

'Our journey is only just beginning, and there is still a long road ahead of us, but for now we are soaking up every single second with our two little fighters. 🩵

'Georgie & Marley, you are already our whole world.

'Keep fighting, boys. Mummy & Daddy love you more than you could ever know. 🥹🩵'. (sic)
