Throughout ITV’s Joan, Joan Hannington’s love for her daughter and determination to give her a better life drove her forwards and some viewers might be wondering what happened to her daughter in the show and in real-life.
Whilst the shocking scenes of Joan Hannington swallowing jewels and rising to become an accomplished thief have undeniably caught viewers’ attention, the beating heart of ITV’s Joan surely has to be the emotional journey Joan goes on as a mother. From the outset we know how much Joan loves her little girl Kelly and how her determination to earn the money to give her a safe and wonderful new life drives her. The six-part series has sparked curiosity about the Joan true story and about if Joan went to prison, but the question about what happened to her daughter is something that is likely on many people’s minds too.
