Mother-of-eleven Zoe said that twins run in her family, and Leah (right) and Erin (left) were born on the eighth birthday of her first set of twins, who are non-identical
The pair even sleep in exactly the same position, but on different sides.
They are 'mirror-image twins' - a little-known phenomenon that means otherwise identical siblings are asymmetrical in their looks and how they move or interactThe phenomenon is believed to affect up to a quarter of identical twins, and Zoe found out her twins were affected last year.
Stay-at-home mother Zoe said: 'If their hair has been up, it's really hard to tell them apart!

'Leah's hair grew faster, but it wasn't until they were both about two and a half that their fringes started to grow out and I realised it parted on different sides!
'It didn't matter what you did, like trying to part it in the middle or on the other side, and really it's the only way you can tell them apart!
'That is when we realised they were mirror twins. Erin we think could be left-handed but Leah is definitely right-handed.
'After I noticed it I did look it up on the internet, it can be really extreme!'

She said Leah usually stands on the left in photos, with Erin on the right, and they walk with opposite dominant feet.
And when they face each other it looks exactly like they are looking in the mirror.
Their nursery also uses their unique hairstyles to tell the difference, but there could yet be more symmetries that reveal themselves as the girls grow older.
Zoe added: 'They are totally different in personality. Almost like different sides of the same coin.
'Every bit of personality Leah has, Erin doesn't, and vice versa.
