A black mother who gave birth to a million-to-one, white, blue-eyed baby boy has stunned doctors by having a second white child.
Financial analyst Catherine Howarth, 35, who is of Nigerian heritage, believed the rare recessive white gene that resulted in son Jonah, three, being completely white would not strike a second time.
So she was stunned when the midwife handed her daughter Sophia and she was as white as her big brother.
Catherine Howarth is of Nigerian heritage and her husband, Richard Howarth is an Englishman of Caucasian descent. She gave birth to her first child named Jonah.
Even though her husband is an Englishman, the birth of the two white babies are still considered as a miracle because black skin genes are usually very dominant.
Doctors were equally amazed when Sophia was born last March.
Catherine is of Nigerian decent with no white genes in her family.
Despite the initial shock, the couple are delighted with their miracle children.
When Jonah was born, his stunning looks attracted the attention of five modelling agencies.
His little sister, ten months, is now set to follow in his footsteps as she has already been signed up to talent agencies. At just three weeks she landed her first modelling job.
