An elderly man, who has spent most of his life thinking that he had been orphaned as a baby, has finally learned of the truth surrounding his birth - that he was probably born following an affair.
The story of Mark Chesterfield, 87, featured in the latest episode of the hit ITV show Long Lost Family on July 11. The popular series, presented by Davina McCall and Nicky Campbell, has showcased some highly tear-jerking moments.
Proud dad-of-five Mark has always been trying to find out his identity ever since he found out at the age of 74 that he wasn’t an orphan, as he’d always believed, but had a mother who’d wanted to be part of his life, Wales Online reports.
