Lucy and Maria
Aylmer, 18, from Gloucester are non-identical twins - while Lucy has
fair skin and straight ginger hair, Maria has a darker complexion with curls.
The college students, were born with radically different colouring thanks to a
quirk of their mixed-race parentage. Their mother Donna is half Jamaican and
their father Vince is white.
Their mother was astonished when she
first saw the twins, as nothing on the scans had prepared her for their
different skin tones.Their mother, who is 47 and a warehouse worker, and their
53-year-old father, who works as a scaffolder, split up after the twins were
born.
Fair-haired Lucy, who lives with her
family in Gloucester, said: ‘It was such a shock for her because things like
skin colour don’t show up on scans before birth.
'So she had no idea that we were so
different. When the midwife handed us both to her she was just
speechless.’
The 18-year-olds have three older
siblings, George, 23, Chynna, 22, and
Jordan, 21. Lucy said: ‘Our brothers and sisters have skin
which is in between Maria and I. We are at opposite ends of the spectrum and
they are all somewhere inbetween.
