Same-sex reality TV couple who splashed £250,000 on surrogate fear for their twin babies after terrifying death threats
A MADE in Chelsea same-sex couple who splashed £250,000 on a surrogate say they fear for their twin babies after terrifying death threats.
Ollie and Gareth Locke-Locke have faced a barrage of abuse as homophobic trolls complained they should have been banned from having kids.
The male reality stars – who married on-screen in 2020 – are proud parents to Apollo Magnus Obi and Cosima Emily Bex.
After a series of abusive messages since their birth, a spiteful online spat this week provoked Ollie and Gareth to speak out about the homophobia.
Gareth told The Sun: “I’ve had to put up with a lot of this bigoted rubbish in my life and most of it just washes off you, but there have been some comments lately that have gone too far.
“I have a family now and I don’t want my kids seeing that kind of unacceptable language when they grow up.
“Everyone’s entitled to their own opinion, but it’s how you communicate it. It’s triggering because it’s the nasty and threatening way these keyboard warriors are going after us. They’re pure bullies.”
Ollie added: “We’re obviously in the public eye and it worries us that we can’t protect them.
“It’s impossible to there every single second of the day, watching out for danger – unless we hire security guards for protection.
“It’s always a concern because of course you naturally worry about your kids and we don’t want them to feel threatened.
“These people need to be held to account.”
Ollie and Gareth suffered a heartbreaking IVF battle before revealing their surrogate was pregnant in 2023.
Earlier this week, they celebrated the twins’ first birthday with their famous godparents, Made in Chelsea co-stars Sophie Hermann and Olivia Bentley.
The couple quit Made in Chelsea before their children’s birth to launch their own Kardashian-style show.
The popular couple previously shared their emotional journey to becoming parents with fans on-screen.
They began documenting their next adventure with their own YouTube show, Our Daddy Diaries.
Gareth now has plans to launch a clothing brand inspired by the hate to raise money for charity.
All profits will go to The Cybersmile Foundation and the RSPCC.
