Ken and Emma Spooner's three boys are called Alfie, Zac and Sebastian

A 28-year-old mother from Norfolk has more than doubled the size of her family with the birth of triplet boys.

Ken and Emma Spooner's new babies are particularly special because they are identical. The chance of this occurring naturally is one in 150,000.

The brothers joined their sister Molly, eight, and brother Jacob, five, at home in Cockley Cley near Swaffham.

Identical triplets are born when one fertilised egg splits to create three separate embryos.

Alfie, Zac and Sebastian have found fame as celebrities since their birth at the Norfolk and Norwich Hospital last month by caesarian section six weeks early.
