A mum whose twin daughters were born with albinism said people "gawk" at them in the street.

Alex Burcham, 31, gave birth to her twins, Aubrie and Andie, 10 months, in April 2023.

Alex and her husband, Joshua Burnham, 33, a transportation manager, say they didn't realise their daughters had albinism until they were born as it was not picked up during the pregnancy.

Alex said a doctor came into the room looking concerned and she thought there was something wrong with the tots.

The doctor told the worried parents that Aubrie and Andie had albinism and Alex said she was "relieved".
