- I don't know if you are actually...
Never did find out, officially, if you're identical.
- Are you...

There's stuff in there with him.
(mother laughs)
That's not...
You can't walk on that.

Wait, hold him.

Today we're with...
(bell dings and phone chimes faintly)

- Put that on silent, shall we?
Whenever I'm out and about,
and we see a mum that's having twins or has twins,
we always get asked what it was like for mother.
(cork pops)
And so mum's brought along...
I just elbowed you in the boob, sorry.
- My pregnancy pack.
- Pregnancy information pack.
- What's he doing?
- Playing with dad's hearing aid.
(laughs loudly)
(cork pops)
So mother, the number one question is were we hard work?
(mother laughs sarcastically)
- Whatcha' mean were?
You still are.
- No cuz'...
Okay, so, what was it like the first year of our life, go?
- Non-Stop.
And you had convulsions on top of that.
- Can you tell all our young viewers,
I don't know what a convulsion is?
What that was?
- Febrile convulsion...
- Febrile convulsion.
- Which is when the body
can't adjust its temperature itself.
It's not fully formed.
So, you used to have a convulsion
whenever you got a virus infection, one of you wasn't well.
- What was it like giving birth to twins?
- What can she say that's not disgusting.
- We can go into details, it's fine.

- Niki was a completely fine birth...
- Yeah. - What happened with mine?
- Well, once Niki was out,
there was loads of room for you to spin 'round and get...
- I went swimming.
- You did, you went swimming and you turn 'round
and then you went breach.
- Is it a problem being foot first?

(laughs) - I've gone weak.
- You needed to put your woollies on to come in the theatre.
So, I had forceps birth with you.
- Yeah.
- And that made your head a funny shape.
- Still is.
- Because it was all bruised because of the forceps.
- So, I came out lookin' like a beaten grapefruit?
- No, you just...
No. Yeah.
And eventually, you was able to start taking,
like, an ounce...
Well, not even an ounce...
Mil, 25 mil of milk.
Wait, um...

Hold.
(mother laughs louder)
So here's me as a fish.
- I don't know if you were actually...
Never did find out, officially, if you were...
Identical.
- Yeah, you dropped this bombshell, like, late last year.
- Wow, what?
- Like, you can't leave it 24 years
to tell twins they're not identical.
- No...
I think you are and they said you most probably are
but normally you share the same placenta.
Well, because it was quite a traumatic birth...
- They couldn't have time to check.
- They couldn't...
Didn't have time to do, check the placenta,
if it had just infused into one
or if it was just one placenta cuz'...
- That's quite a big issue...
- We'd know.
- I mean, all my life I've been saying I'm identical...
- I've seen unidentical twins and I've identical twins,
I know we're identical twins.
- So, are you saying we should go for a blood test
to determine?
- You can't do it with blood tests.
- Naw.
- I don't think it matters, does it?
- Yeah. - Why?
- I mean, It's just my greeting card.
- It's just my whole brand is built with being a twin
- Hi, um, we're looking for presenters for a job,
uh, identical twins. Sorry.
- No can't help you. - Twins here.
Are they identical?
Not sure...
They've been saying they are.
- But, like, they've no documents to prove it,
so we just hasn't it, I guess.
- We've got a car and routine.
So, we've got mums of twins
or future mums of twins watching this video,
