Speaking in an Instagram Q&A, she asked fans to “pray” for her ahead of giving birth to identical baby girls later this year.

Dani encouraged her fans to ask questions by posting a sticker saying “let’s catch up” on her Instagram story.

She admitted to having no plans to go on holiday this year because she and Jarrod will be focusing on the birth of their children after his football season ends.

Responding to a request to see the nursery, Dani said: “Literally have 0 organisation at the moment. We are moving home so soon as we are in I’ll start shopping and getting all their bits ready.

“I’ve started writing a list but as I’m not sure how small/big they will be, don’t want to overbuy too much on clothing.. but I need a lot of stuff for sure.

“Once I do there nursery I will share with you all.”

Dani advised her followers who are also pregnant to join baby groups to make friends with other mums.

As a fan complimented her “glowing” skin, the Love Island winner revealed that she sometimes has flare ups on her chin but usually sticks to using the same beauty products for her routine.

Speaking about stretch marks, Dani said: “I literally smother myself in coconut oil and also use the mama mio products.

“I never got any with Santi but I am expecting to get some now as my bump will probably be a lot bigger than before.

“However it’s nothing to worry about, they are worth it when you are growing a beautiful bubba.”

Dani said: “I think we have decided on both names… Jarrod always wanted one of the names so that was settled for twin 1….

“However, twin 2 I was struggling as I always wanted a certain name but kept thinking (it’s not the most common name) but I’m going to go for it as I think I’d really regret not choosing the name I always loved deep down.

“People really have negative opinions on baby names, I had that a lot with Santi so I’m prepared for that again.”

Dani announced that she’s expecting twins in a sweet Instagram post last month, where son Santiago posed alongside snaps of her baby scans and she showed Jarrod placing his hands on her bump.

The biggest surprise of our lives but feeling SO blessed.. our family is getting a lot bigger and we can’t wait✨”
