Just before we begin, this programme deals with childhood sexual abuse.
Please listen with discretion.
I've been living this false life and giving Alex false stories and making our life fun and normal.
It's avoid of any fact that we'd had any kind of tough childhood.
I'd taken a while that away from him and created a new reality for him.
And suddenly, within two seconds, it all unraveled and he knew that everything I'd said was a lie.
That's Marcus Lewis.
In 1982, he was given an incredible gift, the power to change the course of a life.
His identical twin brother, Alex, had been in a serious motorbike accident.
I actually felt him have the accident while I was in bed.
It was in the middle of the night and I knew that he'd had an accident and I spoke to my mother about it and said
that he's in the hospital and we need to go to the hospital now and then an hour later the hospital phoned to say
that he was in the hospital.
You knew this then?
I knew he'd had the accident, yeah.
Wow,
to the extent that you would actually go and be able to tell someone that he was in hospital that he had an accident?
That's right, yeah, I did, yeah.
That's incredible.
And feel the pain?
