BBC EastEnders legend Jo Joyner has moved to open up about her twins. The TV star and soap actress has detailed her “longed for” babies as she spoke about her IVF battle.

She and husband Neil share twins Freddie and Edie, now 12. Jo, now aged 44, didn’t get pregnant until her thirties after going through IVF.

Joyner announced in July 2009 that she was pregnant with twins as a result of IVF treatment. She gave birth to fraternal twins Freddie McCormick and Edie Rose Madden in December of that year.

Speaking to the Mirror, she said: “I started journalling as it’s like a form of CBT [cognitive behavioural therapy] really, because a lot of it is laugh or cry. But there are funny situations which arise during IVF. It sounds a bit harsh to say, but there are such stupid scenarios that happen – let alone men giving their ‘samples’, bless them.

“We tried everything – acupuncture, fertility diets, reflexology – but nothing worked. We had tests and knew there was a slim chance anything [natural] would work and that was when we made the decision to try IVF.”

Jo added: “the twins were very longed for – we were incredibly lucky because we had them with our first round of IVF.” BBC EastEnders continues to air on BBC One.
