Anna and Lauren were as close as you might expect identical twins to be. They shared a bedroom, sat together in lessons and enjoyed the same hobbies, like basketball and tennis. “People used to call us The Twins,” Anna, 23, says. “We used to get one card, one birthday invite.” “People were convinced we could read each other’s minds,” Lauren adds.

The sisters had grown up in Scotland with their older sister Aisha. However, they moved to Sheffield as teenagers to live with their dad after their parents divorced. Aisha stayed behind in Scotland. “If I ever needed someone to talk to, Anna was always the person,” Lauren says.
