Miss Charlotte Holmes’s parents, Vonny and Ken, who are now 60 and 64, had been trying for a baby for eight years when they were accepted on to Lord Winston’s fertility programme at Hammersmith Hospital in 1988.
The result 23 years after is a transformation of of a handful of cells into England's best.Upon meeting Miss Holmes, 23, who was crowned Miss England earlier this year, Lord Winston said: “It’s better than a butterfly from a caterpillar.”
As they chatted about the IVF treatment procedure, Lord Winston showed her a
film of cell division, telling her: “This is where you and I first met.”
Picking up a test tube, Miss Holmes said: “I can’t believe I was small enough to fit in there.”
