It's been a long time coming for Claudia, who worked out she would turn 12 on 12/12/12 when she was nine.

"It's not going to happen for another 100 years so it's pretty special," Claudia said.
"All my friends are talking about how lucky I am, saying they wish their birthday was on a special day as well.

"I'm hoping that I will have something good happen."

Claudia, Jaime and Sophie all met at dance class and "just clicked", before discovering they share their birthday.
