17 | Chris & Jenny Packham

Naturalist Chris Packham and his little sister the fashion designer Jenny Packham, grew up in Southampton in a crazily creative and competitive family. They indulged Chris's enthusiasms and obsessions - trekking through nettles and staying out for hours to spot birds or catch newts. Later on Jenny developed her own interest in art and making clothes - inspired by her dress-making grandmothers. As teens the pair bonded through music and fashion, but at socially Chris's undiagnosed Asperger's made life tough for him and challenging for the family. Jenny's love her "brilliant" brother has never faltered and they remain as close now as ever. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Sibling relationships come before friendships or romances, and usually outlive any links with our parents.
