Kristina Ozturk, a Russian who lives in neighbouring Georgia, has welcomed 21 of the kids via surrogate and 20 have been born in the space of a year.

She claims that she wants 105 biological children with her millionaire husband Galip, 58 - although he was sentenced to eight years in prison earlier this year after being found guilty of illegal purchase and possession of drugs.

A video on her Instagram account shows that all but two of the children were born in 2020, with the eldest, Victoria, born in 2014 from a previous relationship, and the youngest, Olivia, arriving in January 2021.

The clip shows all of the children reeling off their names and dates of birth.

Kristina captioned the post: "Meet the Ozturk family!"

"You have asked many times to make a video for you with the names and ages of the children. I heard you. I made a video with dates of birth ... ."
