Seeing double: identical twins both win spot at prestigious dance school

A pair of identical twins are so used to doing everything together that they have both made their shared dream come true by winning a place at the Royal Academy of Dance in London.

Sisters Kathryn and Georgia Bullen, 19, of Barry, South Wales, will attend the prestigious school to take up ballet.

The pair even matched each other step-by-step in their school and dance exams with identical results.

The spitting image sisters - who began ballet aged just three and have danced with the Royal Ballet in Covent Garden - begin a two-year training course in January as Academy's first set of identical twins.

The pair also notched up identical A-level success - gaining the same A* grades at their hometown school.

Proud mum Nicola, 56, a trained paramedic says that she used to be a dancer herself so encouraged the girls to take it up.
