UK's most premature twins leave hospital five months after they were given a zero per cent chance of survival

The UK's most premature twins have finally headed home from hospital - five months after they were given a zero per cent chance of survival at birth. Little Harley and Harry Crane were conceived via IVF and were born at 22 weeks and five days - more than a week before the abortion limit.

Babies born at 22 weeks are not classed as legally viable and medical intervention is sometimes not offered. But the tough siblings weren't going anywhere and have amazed doctors - who initially gave them a zero per cent chance of survival.

Proud mum Jade Crane, 39, has spent the last five months staying by her brave babies' sides in the newborn intensive care unit (NICU) at Queens Medical Hospital in Nottingham. The miracle pair headed home on Monday (14) with their proud mum and dad just two and a half weeks after their original due date.
