T-winning at life!

A study published in 2021, found that more twins are being born than ever before.

Of course, not all twins are identical, some are born at the same time but look different to each other - like regular siblings.

Here in the UK there's around a one in 112 chance of non-identical twins being born.

It's even less likely for identical twins - around a one in 250 chance. The NHS says around two-thirds of all twins are non-identical.
