Line of Duty star's emotional meeting with cousin he never knew existed after being put into care as a child

Line of Duty stars Adrian Dubar and Neil Morrissey have been firm friends since they were 18, long before the hit BBC One crime drama catapulted them into fame. Now the pair have appeared on ITV1's DNA Journey and one of them, to their surprise, met family they never knew existed.

Neil grew up in care from the age of 10, after his parents were unable to look after him, and never knew a lot about his family. He did not know his grandparents or where he was from and a DNA test in the show revealed he was 1% Scottish and 99% Irish.

While visiting Ireland with Adrian in the show, Neil was shocked to discover he has a lot of cousins and family in Dublin. He even met Marilyn who is his cousin from his father's side of the family.
