When Harwich MP Ivan Henderson handed out the degrees at the Clacton Campus of the Colchester Institute he must have thought he was seeing double.
For after Leana Moorhouse collected her qualification she was immediately followed by her identical twin, Nadine.

To say the 21-year-olds are close is an understatement. They share a house together in Clacton and work yards from each other.
