17 | Chris Packham & Jenny Packham

Season Two begins! Naturalist Chris Packham and his little sister, fashion designer Jenny Packham, grew up in Southampton in a crazily creative and competitive family. They fully indulged Chris's enthusiasms and obsessions, including trekking through nettles and staying out for hours to spot birds or catch newts – while 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, though Chris's undiagnosed Asperger's made life tough for him and challenging for the family. Jenny's love for her brilliant brother has never faltered – and they remain as close now as ever.
