‘We just saw the little baby, and the surprise was that she has 12 fingers, like me, like her mummy,’ Tammy said in the video, in which she is seated in a car next to the baby’s father, her fiancé Matt Poole, 33. 

Tammy further explained that her sisters, mother and brother also had the mutation, but that her first two children, son Wolf, six, and daughter Saskia, five, who she shares with ex-fiancé Reece Hawkins, 26, did not.  

‘Amy and Emilee had extra fingers when they were born as well, and so did my little brother. So did my mum. It runs in my family,’ she said.

‘I thought the scars on both my hands were literally part of the human anatomy,’ she added.

Tammy first made the startling revelation in a YouTube video titled ’10 things you don’t know about me’ back in January 2018.

She said: ‘I was actually born with two extra fingers’ and added that her two extra fingers were ‘chopped off’ soon after she was born. 

Tammy explained the additional digits were attached to her little fingers on each hand and had nails – but were completely boneless.  

She also noted the mutation ‘runs in her family’, with her older sisters, as well as their mother and grandmother born with extra fingers. 

What is Polydactyly?

Polydactyly is the condition which results in people having extra fingers or toes.

The extra digit is usually a piece of soft tissue that can be easily removed.

Occasionally it contains bones, but the excess finger(s) is rarely functioning.

The condition affects only a small portion of the population, and is believed to be inherited from a dominant gene, or can be a syndrome.

Famous people with the condition include comedian Drew Carey and American baseball player Antonio Alfonseca
