Identical twin sisters share secret tricks so people can tell them apart easily

A pair of identical twin sisters shared the secret tricks they use to help people recognise which twin they are.

Rose and Elizabeth Conway, based in the UK, are biologically identical twin sisters. Twins who are identical often get confused by others for their twin so the pair have spoken about what they do to help people tell them apart.

Elizabeth, a BBC Sport journalist, posted a video on TikTok stood side by side with her sister Rose and the pair explained what 'secret' things they do that other people, apart from twins, wouldn't notice. Mentioning their names early on in a conversation and wearing different coloured outfits are two of them.

Speaking in the video, Elizabeth said: “So I’m Liz and this is my identical twin sister, Rose, and here are some things twins will do that you’ll never notice but they have to do just because they’re identical twins.” Rose took over: “First one: we mention each other’s names as early as possible.”

Elizabeth explained if they meet people when they are out she will mention her own name or Rose’s so people know which twin they're talking to. She gave the examples: “Rose isn’t here” or “Rose is away” or “Rose, come over here".

Rose added: “Because when you speak to somebody you know they don’t know who they’re talking to if we’re both due to be there.” Elizabeth expanded: “So they’re being really polite but you know they’re thinking in their head I don’t know which one so we try and help that.”

The next thing the pair claimed twins do is “cover for each other all the time”. Rose said: “I pretended to be Liz on so many occasions and she has pretended to be me. I have talked about living in Manchester. I don’t live in Manchester being a journalist.

“I’m not a journalist but I know it
