- Twin sister were born just minutes apart but look like steps-sisters

– Jasmine inherited her mother fair skin, light eyes and mousy hair

– Amelia is her mixed-race father’s daughter, she has dark skin and brown eyes

Amelia and Jasmine, both one year old, are identical twin sisters with completely different skin tones, eye colours and hair types.

The mum says strangers assume the twins – who have just celebrated their first birthday – are step-sisters

The unusual girls owe their appearance to their biracial parents Libby Appleby, 37, and Tafadzwa Madzimbamuto from West Rainton, County Durham, England.

Libby  said:“When they were born, we were flabbergasted – even the doctors couldn’t believe it. They look like they’re different races. Amelia is the spitting image of her dad, while Jasmine is a mini version of me.

A sample of Libby’s placenta confirmed the twins are 100 per cent genetically identical, despite them looking nothing alike

The siblings, who are monozygotic and 100% genetically identical, are believed to be first of their kind in the Great Britain.

The phenomenon is so rare the chances of giving birth to identical twins with different skin tones is around a million to one.
