A mother has defied odds of 500,000 to 1 by giving birth to her third set of twins.

Karen Rodger, 41, and husband Colin, 44, from Langbank in Renfrewshire were "over the moon" at the new addition to their family on May 29 at the Southern General Hospital in Glasgow.

The baby girls, who are not identical, were delivered by caesarean section with Rowan arriving first weighing 5lbs 8oz and two minutes later Isla weighing 6lbs, Sky News reported.

The couple already has four boys - 14-year-olds Lewis and Kyle and Finn and Jude who are both 12.

Mr. Rodger described the arrival of the twins as 'life-changing' and said he was looking forward to raise the daughters.
