A pair of identical twins who are so inseparable that they still share the same bedroom have captured the hearts of viewers after appearing on a popular daytime television show. Colin and Graham, both 74 years old and from Cheltenham, have been by each other's side since the day they were born. They have done everything together, from passing their driving tests on the same day to achieving identical school grades, and even spending their entire working lives together.
Appearance on This Morning
The twins appeared on Friday's episode of This Morning, where they opened up about their unique bond and gave viewers a glimpse into their decades of shared experiences. Speaking to hosts Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary, the duo admitted that their bond is so strong that they not only live at the same retirement home but also share the same bedroom.
Dermot pointed out, "When you retired, you moved into the same retirement village together." Colin replied, "Yes, everything together." Dermot then asked, "Same house?" Colin responded, "Everything together." Alison jumped in and asked, "Same bedroom?" Colin again replied, "Everything together." Alison was keen to find out more and further asked, "So you've got twin beds?" The twins both agreed and replied, "Yes. Everything together."
Love Life and Relationships
Dermot was keen to find out how their close bond affected their love life, as they have never been married or had children. The TV presenter asked, "So have you ever had partners that have tried to…" Before he could finish his sentence, Colin interjected and admitted, "No, that's one thing we've been dreaming… We've done sports with cricket, training, and stuff, but we've had no time for girlfriends. Obviously, we've had some now."
Alison suggested dating other twins, saying, "We need some other twins, roughly the same age or younger." The twins seemed to like the idea as they both replied, "Oh, yeah." Alison continued, "And maybe there are some twins out there who are interested, seriously, in a partnership because it would be better…" Dermot added, "50s." Colin said, "We have always thought about that. It'd be nice, that would be. A dream."
Happiness in Togetherness
Despite not finding love or starting a family, the duo is more than happy living life together. In a heartfelt moment, Graham said, "Since we've been together, we've been happy. We get that feeling when we are with each other. It's very strange – since we've been brought up, really, it's been going on and on for years, and it's been going on all the time."
This Morning airs weekdays from 10am on BBC One and iPlayer.
