Anneka Rice has become a grandmother again after two new grandchildren arrived just 10 weeks apart.
The 68-year-old presenter announced the happy family update through an Instagram post. She shared a black-and-white photograph showing her cradling both new arrivals.
Introducing the news as a birthday surprise, Anneka wrote: “My birthday presents this year came 10 weeks apart.”
She then compared the second arrival to another package appearing soon after the first. Anneka ended the message by joking that she no longer knew where to turn.
