The chances of cracking open a double yolked egg are pretty slim. One tenth of one per cent in fact.

Fiona Exon has done exactly that. The art gallery owner was preparing scrambled eggs for Sunday breakfast when she started cracking the eggs.

As each one turned out to be double-yolked, she went from being pleasantly surprised to shocked.

Understandably - because the odds of a whole box of six being so is supposedly one in a trillion.

This past week I have found two in a box of a dozen when normally I hardly see them
