Brit gran, 55, gives birth to TRIPLETS

And Cutts, who had the triplets with 40-year-old boyfriend Stuart Reynolds, has four adult children from a previous relationship.

But the gran said she doesn’t care that the babies are younger than her grandchildren.

She said: "It means they've got lots of playmates.”

The NHS will only perform IVF up to the age of 42, so the couple went to a private clinic before heading to Cyprus for the procedure.

Cutts, who is a nurse herself, said: "I knew there was a possibility of multiple births because the doctor put four embryos in me, for a higher chance of conceiving.

"At the scan we were told there were three heartbeats. Stuart was shocked and I was in tears, crying with joy.

"The first thing I thought was: 'Oh my God, how am I going to cope?"'

Factory worker Reynolds said: "I was excited, and then bricking it. Now they're here I wouldn't change it for the world."

The couple, from Lincolnshire, took out loans of £15,000 to pay the medical bills.

The pregnancy was fraught with problems and doctors advised one of the babies should be aborted because of the dangers of pregnancy at Cutts’ age.

But she refused and the triplets were born by C-section after an 11-week stay in Nottingham University Hospital.

She also revealed she gave herself Botox injections hair extensions in hospital before going into labour – just to look her best after the birth.

She told the Sun: "I only injected a little bit, because really you shouldn't do it while you're pregnant.

"I sneaked out to get my hair extensions changed too.

"It was important to me to look my best for when the babies were born."
