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

 Mrs Howarth, a 32-year-old financial analyst from Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire, said: ¿When Jonah was handed to me I immediately fell in love with him'
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

 Proud parents: Richard and Catherine Howard with their three-month-old son Jonah
In fact, three-month old Jonah is the startling result of a one-in-a-million combination of his parents’ genes.

 ¿I did note he was pale but thought that was because the umbilical cord was wrapped around his neck when he was born. But a few hours later he was still really white with blue eyes,' said Mrs Howarth
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.
