A cake decorator from Rochdale was left shell-shocked when she cracked open 29 double yolk eggs in a row. Charlotte Matthews beat massive odds when she made the amazing discovery in a tray of 30 eggs. The 26-year-old bought the box in Asda to make cakes and a Sunday morning fry-up.
And after cracking open 13 double yolks in a row she asked husband Gavin to film her while she opened the rest. She missed out on the full house when the last egg in the tray was a single yolk.

Charlotte said: "I was absolutely astounded. We made breakfast then wanted to see if the rest were the same so on Tuesday we decided to crack them all open. I am a cake decorator, so I go through a lot of eggs, but this is so strange. I have probably used thousands of eggs and have never ever seen one double yolk before."
According to the the British Egg Information Service the chance of getting a double yolk is one in 1,000. So the odds of opening 29 on the trot are one in 1,000 to the power of 29 - or one followed by 87 zeros.
