A probe has been launched into claims a notorious paedophile bishop impersonated his identical twin brother – by carrying out services in his place.
Former Bishop of Gloucester Peter Ball, 83, was jailed last year after he admitted sexually abusing teenagers and young men.
But there are now fears he took the place of his twin Michael Ball, who was also a bishop and a friend of Prince Charles, by duping congregations in other parts of the UK.
The Diocese of Truro is now looking into the evidence that Ball conducted services in Cornwall, where Michael, had been a Bishop in the 1990s.
An independent review is currently under way into the way the Church of England responded to the case.
