Mail Online, the Mirror, the Independent’s Indy 100 and Ladbible all published a fake news story over the weekend.

A story about a couple undergoing IVF treatment who were told by doctors that they were twins following DNA testing was picked up by the news sites.

It appears to have originated from US website the Mississippi Herald which published it on Thursday last week (and still remains online) and has also been picked up by the Times of India.
