Former Limerick TD and Fair City star announce 'miracle' as twins on the way

IT'S A double surprise for former Limerick TD Tom Neville and his partner Jenny Dixon as they announce that "through an act of god" twins are on the way.

Jenny, who previously starred as KerriAnn on Fair City, took to social media to tell of an "emotional rollercoaster" that had led to the couple learning that they are 17 weeks pregnant, with twins.

The London-based actress said: "Just when we thought it may never happen. It happens. Some kind of sacred magic. Faith, positivity, determination and an act of god."

The pair, who wed in Dublin in July 2019, recently moved from Limerick to London, so that Tom, a former Fine Gael TD could take up an exciting new opportunity with social media giants TikTok.
