Firefighters in breathing apparatus entered the house and rescued four young children, who were given immediate CPR by emergency services at the scene, including paramedics.

All four children were rushed to two hospitals in south London where they later died.

Ms Rose told the Times that she was unable to discuss what happened on the evening of the blaze because of a continuing investigation by police and firefighters.

The mother said that the photograph and video of her sons on her social media accounts showed “my real life and now they’re all gone”.

She said that the boys loved school and being with their relatives.

“I can’t get over it, I’ll never get over it,” she said. “It’s so hard hearing all the stuff in the media and people questioning my love and all the fake stories.

“My boys loved to dance and sing and make silly videos, they loved to eat and climb and go to the park, they loved to be with their great-grandparents and do art and baking.

“They lit up everybody’s world and I will always be sorry that they went so soon.

“They had so much planned and now they’re gone.

“I wake up and I look at their Christmas tree and I look at their clothes, their Liverpool [football] kit, their Cocomelon dressing gowns, their drawings.

“I’m so grateful for everyone who was a part of their life who [has] been sharing memories and keeping me together.

“I don’t wanna be here anymore.

“They will never be here again and I will live with that for the rest of my life.”

The twins’ father, Dalton Hoath, 28, said: “They were bright, caring, loveable boys, but most of all sons, brothers, grandsons, great-grandsons, nephews and cousins.”

Chief Superintendent Dave Stringer, commander for Croydon, Bromley and Sutton Police, said: “Local detectives continue to investigate and will be working with colleagues from the London Fire Brigade to determine what caused the fire and to investigate any other relevant matters.”
