Both sisters have spina bifida and each has a weak side of their body which causes back pain and problems walking.

Each twin has one leg shorter than the other, while Eman sometimes uses a wheelchair or crutch to walk and Sanchia also uses a crutch.

Despite their health issues, both acknowledge that they have progressed far beyond their doctor’s expectations: when they were able to walk, people said it was a "miracle".

Conjoined twins are very rare; about one in 200,000 live births result in conjoined twins. But it wasn’t till they were older that they realised “what a big deal” their story was.

Eman said: “Our friends would ask, ‘Why are you on TV? Are you famous?’ and we would tell them we were born stuck together and I think that was quite mind-blowing for them.”

Eman and Sanchia are aiming to raise £10,000 for the Children’s Hospital as a “proper goodbye” as they end their treatment at the hospital and are moved into adult care.
