A woman took a DNA test for a laugh after joking she must have been switched at birth because she's ‘nothing like’ her family – and discovered she had a half-brother.

Farrah Khilji-Holmes, 52, met her new-found sibling Steve Bolton, 62, for the first time after he travelled to the UK from Canada to see her and her relatives in person.

They had the same dad, Dr Mohammad Elijaz Khilji, but different mums and didn't know anything about each other until they sent their DNA tests off and they matched.
