Leigh-Anne shared no further details about her new arrivals, shocking fans with the announcement as she had not revealed she was expecting twins. 

The post came just one day after bandmate Perrie Edwards revealed she had given birth to a son named Axel with her footballer boyfriend Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain. 

The Little Mix stars both announced their pregnancy news on Instagram in May within six days of each other. 

Although Perrie beat her with the birth announcement, Leigh-Anne's time stamp revealed that she welcomed her twins five days beforehand, but kept the news private until now.

Sairah, 31, wrote on social media on Friday: '9 months of growing you, a lifetime to love you. Welcome to the world Sevn Santino Pinnock - Roberts.'

The singer was inundated with well wishes from her celebrity pals, however former Little Mix member Jesy Nelson has yet to comment publicly on either Leigh-Anne or Perrie's post.
