Conjoined twins Abby and Brittany Hansel celebrate 22nd birthday on reality show

CONJOINED twins Abby and Brittany Hansel celebrated their 22nd birthday in the opening episode of their US reality show.

The series, named Abby and Brittany, showed them wearing sunnies and wacky hats to mark the occasion.

The girls, from Minnesota, will be seen graduating from university, hunting for a job and travelling through Europe with pals in their latest telly show.

In snaps from the series, they are pictured getting on with their normal lives, posing for photos in a traditional red telephone box in London, relaxing with pals in the sunshine and driving a car.

Talking about getting behind the wheel, Brittany explained: “Abby does the pedals and the gear shifter, I take the blinkers and lights. But she likes driving faster than me.”

The twins have previously starred in a documentary called Joined For Life, and a follow-up programme, Abby and Brittany Turn 16.

Stars-in-the-making the twins first found fame when they appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show, and graced the cover of Life Magazine in 1996, aged six.

The duo share most organs below the navel but they have two hearts with one shared circulatory system, four lungs and two stomachs.

While they were born with three arms, one was removed surgically.

Abby controls the right side of the body while Brittany controls the left.

And while it's rare for twins conjoined the way that Abby and Brittany are to survive into adulthood, they are in good health, without heart defects or organ failure.

Abby And Brittany is shown on TLC in America.
