He wrote: “So sorry my loves, I won’t be able to take today’s classes as little George has had an operation and a short stay in hospital.

“But don’t worry, he’s all OK now!

“A huge thank you to all the brilliant nurses for looking after us – you’re all simply amazing. Anton.”

Fans sent their well-wishes to George.

One person tweeted: “Aww poor little George. Wishing him a speedy recovery.”

I won’t be able to take today’s classes as little George has had an operation.

Anton has twins George and Henrietta with his wife Hannah Summers.

Last month, Anton was joined by his children during one of his online dance classes.

He posted an adorable photo to Instagram showing the twins helping their dad out.

Anton wrote: “Daddy had some unexpected extra help in today’s live workout! Gorgeous!!”

Anton’s tears

Meanwhile, earlier this year, the dancer teared up on Loose Women over his twins.

Anton said Hannah is “the most brilliant and remarkable mum and wife”.

He said: “I didn’t know whether I wanted to have children or whether that was going to be a thing for me.

“But I knew that if I did have children it would be with the woman I would want to spend the rest of my life with. And it’s Hannah.

“Having children with Hannah was a perfectly normal thing to do.”

After that, the show then played a video of Henrietta and George.

Anton became tearful and wiped his eyes with tissues.
