Sextuplet Business
Synopsis
The Shocking Story of Britain's Second Surviving Sextuplets
Sue Coleman, mother of Britain’s second surviving sextuplets, says, “Everyone remembers Linford Christie’s Olympic Gold, but who came second and who came third?”
Bar initial newspaper deals and appearances on obscure Japanese game shows, money and fame are short-lived. For Jane Underhill, the reality was even worse. Out of six children born after fertility treatment, only one survives – partially sighted and with a severe stammer. A salutary tale of medical irresponsibility and tabloid hysteria.
