Ollie Locke enjoys family day out with twins after son’s ‘horrific’ operation
OLLIE Locke enjoyed a family day out this weekend after an ‘incredibly difficult’ time.
The star headed to the Magical Holiday Event held at the Disney Store in London alongside husband Gareth and their twins Opollo and Cosima.
It is the first time they have been seen after revealing Opollo had to undergo surgery – leaving the couple devastated.
The Made In Chelsea star didn’t reveal what was wrong with the little one, who was born in July 2023, but thanked the NHS for their help.
He explained last week: “We’ve been a little quiet over the last few weeks after our little Apollo had an operation.
“To any parents out there who have experienced this, I’m sure you know how tough it is. He is on the mend and back smiling thanks to the amazing NHS doctors at Chelsea and Westminster who we couldn’t be more thankful for xx”
He added: “When you go through something like that as a parent, it’s probably the most horrific thing.”
But Ollie and Gareth put the upset behind them to attend the festive bash and were seen having fun as they checked out the Disney Holiday and Moana 2 collections.
Speaking at the store, he said: “This has been such a brilliant day for the whole family. Disney Store has brought the festive spirit alive with so many wonderful activities for the kids.
“The new holiday product range has truly inspired me with its attention to detail and creativity—Disney Store has really thought of everything to make this season magical!”
The reality star was joined at the bash by Michelle Heaton with her family, Ryan Libbey with his son Leo and Zara McDermott, as well as Laura Whitmore and husband Iain Stirling.
Laura, who was joined by her daughter, said: “We are a big fan of Disney in our house so no better way to kick start the festive season than at Disney Store’s Magical Holiday Event.
“It was absolute Magic and seeing all the new fab products is creating a lot of excitement – especially those from the new Moana 2 film!”

Bouchard shared the post to her 2.3MILLION Instagram followers, sending her adoring fans wild.

A third gushed: “Wow! You pull it off better than Christina!”
And a fourth commented: “Okay! That is my favourite”.
While Bouchard made a joke of her own in the caption of the post, writing “Genie in a bottle”, as a reference to another Christina Aguilera song.
The Candian star has had some fun playing dress up for Halloween with her popstar outfit her fourth costume of the season.
She also dressed up as a cow, a landscape gardener and iconic movie character Cher from the 90’s film ‘Clueless’.
Bouchard’s tennis career saw her reach a record high of world no.5, as well as representing Canada at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio.

Take a peek at Eugenie Bouchard’s other Halloween outfits…
