Anton Du Beke gets emotional discussing his and his wife’s IVF journey

OHMYGOSSIP — Anton Du Beke broke down in tears while discussing his and his wife’s “gruelling” IVF process.
The ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ professional got emotional on Wednesday’s (15.01.20) episode of ‘Loose Women’ while speaking about the tough journey he and Hannah Summers experienced before she gave birth to their twins, George and Henrietta.
When presenter Ruth Langsford mentioned that he had waited a long time for youngsters, who are now three, the 53-year-old pro dancer said: “I’m delighted to be able to talk about it because it’s such an incredible thing, being able to be a parent.
“Hannah and I left it a bit later, so we’re slightly older parents.”
Anton then became tearful when discussing his “remarkable” wife.
He said: “I always get emotional when I talk about Hannah. Hannah is a remarkable mum and wife. She’s the most brilliant person I’ve ever met.
“For me as a man, and everything is from my own personal perspective of a man, I didn’t know whether I wanted to have children or whether that was going to be a thing for me, it wasn’t a subject that was at the forefront of my mind, but what I did know is that if I did have children it would be with the woman I wanted to spend all my life with and it’s Hannah.”
Anton opened up about Hannah’s struggle with endometriosis, when uterus tissue grows on other vital organs, which led to her fertility problems and left IVF as the “only option” for the couple.
He explained: “We went to the clinic and discussed it. And we made the decision, ‘This is what we’re going to do and we were absolutely determined.’
“You go along and of course, the process is remarkable. I take my hat off … it’s not even a big enough expression to Hannah and women in general doing this. It’s an incredible thing. The pay-off is so great, of course.”
Anton also confessed that he was worried about hurting Hannah, as she underwent injections for the process.
He said: “The injections … gruelling, intense, painful … the bruising. But of course you forego all that because the potential prize at the end of having babies and we were fortunate to have the twins… it’s sort of OK, because you’re going through the process.
“It’s horrible [watching your wife go through it]. I’m in awe of Hannah. You have to have injections, all the time … in your stomach. They’re not little, invisible needles, they’re big old blunt things. I had to do it – ones in your behind. And I’m thinking, ‘Please don’t hurt her.’ And of course it hurts. And it’s so hard to do it. But of course, what am I worried about? She’s the one who has to go through the pain.”
