A pair of broody 'gay' penguins from a zoo in Madrid has finally been given an egg of their own to look after.

Inca and Rayas, from Spain's Faunia Park, have been building a nest together for six years in the hope of one day hearing the tiny pitter patter of webbed feet.

Zookeepers took pity on the Gentoo penguins by giving them an egg to care for.
