Million-to-one gene gives this black mother a white son...

 

When Catherine Howarth was handed her newborn baby, she had something of a surprise.

Because while she is black with Nigerian heritage, her infant son was completely white.

And even though her husband Richard, 34, a medical recruitment consultant, is white, she believed they’d been given the wrong child

 

In fact, three-month old Jonah is the startling result of a one-in-a-million combination of his parents’ genes.

 

And now his looks are expected to take the baby modelling world by storm after his stunning blue eyes and creamy complexion saw him signed up by five of the country’s leading agencies. He has already appeared in several photoshoots.
