A Bulwell mum says she is regularly asked 'are they both yours?' after giving birth to twins with 'totally different' skin colours. When Ayon and Azirah were born at Nottingham City Hospital in April this year mum Chantelle Broughton said she was shocked.
The 29-year-old's son Ayon was born with fair skin and green eyes, meanwhile her daughter Azirah had dark skin and brown eyes. "It was a shock how different they appeared, they're unique," Chantelle recalled.
"People just stop and say 'oh my god', they just look totally different. I've had people ask 'are they both yours?' Although a lot of the time people don't want to say it but when we tell them they say it's crazy as you don't see it very often."
