0:03:19 > 0:03:25I've let the sport down that I've been playing since the age of four,

0:03:25 > 0:03:29that I love so deeply.

0:03:29 > 0:03:32Next up, drones are a popular piece of tech but they're also being used

0:03:49 > 0:03:52It's interested only in catching the drone.

0:04:09 > 0:04:12so both from the same mum at the same time.

0:04:12 > 0:04:15It was thought that grey seals couldn't have twin babies but these

0:04:15 > 0:04:19fellas, being looked after in a sanctuary in Norfolk,

0:04:19 > 0:04:22have proved all the scientists wrong.

0:04:22 > 0:04:25We contacted various institutions in the country,

0:04:25 > 0:04:28and it was absolutely impossible, twin seals could never

0:04:28 > 0:04:30be born to a grey seal.

0:04:30 > 0:04:33So I sent their details up to Norway, and Norway

0:04:33 > 0:04:36have come back with this wonderful news that they are in fact

0:04:36 > 0:04:41twin seals and we are absolutely delighted.
