Dean Durrant, 33, and Alison Spooner, 27, of Fleet, Hampshire, have had another set of twin girls with different coloured skin.

Miya has her father's black skin and Leah is white like her mother.

The couple's first set of twins arrived in 2001, with blue-eyed, red-haired Lauren taking after her mother while Hayleigh has black skin and hair like her father.

Ms Spooner told Sky News: "I honestly didn't think it would happen again.

"I thought we would have two the same - and I didn't think we'd have twins again for a start. That was a shock," she said.

The couple tried to put a bet on just in case but say bookies William Hill refused because the did not have the medical knowledge to offer them odds.

Rupert Adams, a spokesman for William Hill, said some novelty bets are difficult to offer fair odds on.

However, the bookes will try and offer a price if the couple want to make it third time lucky.

"If they came to us again saying they would try for another set, we'd give them odds of 10,000 to one," he said.

Miya and Leah were delivered by Caesarean section at Frimley Park Hospital, in Surrey, at just 37 weeks of pregnancy after scans revealed both babies were in the breech position.

Mr Durrant said he began to suspect they were different colours when second-born Miya arrived.

He explained: "I was sure in my mind there was a difference but I didn't think it was as much as with Hayleigh and Lauren but obviously it is."

The babies were taken to a special care unit because they were not breathing properly so it took five days for the parents to see them side by side.

"It's amazing," Mr Durrant added. "I think I'm still in shock."


一對不同膚色的夫婦在7年前生了一對膚色黑色和白色雙胞胎,曾經描述過這是怎樣低的機率,而這一切又再一次的發生了。

在漢普郡弗利特,33歲的迪安·杜蘭和27歲的艾利森·斯普納再次擁有了一對不同膚色的雙胞胎女兒。米亞擁有和父親一樣的黑色皮膚,而利亞則是和她母親一樣的白色皮膚。

這對夫婦的第一對雙胞胎在2001年降臨,擁有藍眼睛、紅頭髮的勞倫遺傳了她母親的特徵而海蕾則像父親擁有黑皮膚和黑頭髮。

斯普納夫人告訴天空新聞:“我真的不敢相信這樣的事會再一次發生。”她說:“我認爲我們將會擁有一對一樣膚色的雙胞胎,起初我並不認爲我們會再一次擁有不同膚色的雙胞胎。這太讓人震驚了。”

這對夫婦想設定一個賭局以防萬一,但是博彩公司威廉希爾拒絕說因爲不知道醫學知識來給定他們賠率。威廉希爾公司的發言人魯伯特·亞當斯說一些新穎的賭博很難給定適當的賠率。然而,這家博彩公司還是給定了一個價值如果這對夫婦想創造第三次幸運。

“如果他們能來告訴我們他們準備再生一對,我們將給予他們10000比1的賠率,”他說。

米亞和利亞是在薩里的菲姆雷公園醫院剖腹生產的,只經過37周的孕期通過檢查顯示兩個孩子都在臀部位置。

在第二個出生的米亞降臨之前,杜蘭先生就開始懷疑她們將是不同膚色的。

他解釋說:“在我心裏我確信他們是不一樣的,但是我也沒想到他們之間的差異和海蕾和勞倫的差異一樣的明顯。”

因爲她們呼吸不完全,這對嬰兒需要被送進特別加護病房,因此她們的父母在接下來的5天需要並肩照看他們。

杜蘭先生結着說:“這太不可思議了,我想我現在仍處在震驚中。”
