A 54-year-old woman will be left in floods of tears after she finally meets her siblings for the first time in the next episode of ITV’s Long Lost Family. This week the series, which is hosted by Davina McCall and Nicky Campbell, has already reunited a man with the woman who found him as a baby and a father who never knew his son existed.
In the upcoming third episode, which airs on Wednesday, June 28, viewers will hear the story of Caroline Harris-Gray. Caroline was days old when her birth mother made the decision to abandon her baby in a vegetable box in the matron’s room of Tottenham’s Prince of Wales Hospital in London.
Ahead of meeting with the Long Lost Family team Caroline, who is now a therapist, says: “As I’ve grown up, I’ve got different bits of information from different people… I’d like to know the truth. I look in the mirror and I don’t know who I am.” Have you been watching the new series this week? Let us know in the comments.
