A mum has come up with an ingenious plan to keep the peace with her warring identical twin sons who support rival football teams - by creating amazing half-and-half birthday cakes.
Dylan and Craig Atkinson from Leam Lane, Gateshead, turned 18 on Monday but despite their similarities in looks, the pair couldn't be more different. While Dylan supports Newcastle United like his mam Laura, Craig has followed in Laura's step-dad's shoes by supporting Sunderland AFC.
The differing football loyalties started when the lads were about 10 years old and have continued throughout their lives. Laura said it can cause the odd family feud and has even led to Dylan and Craig no longer being friends on Facebook.
