The award-winning documentary series returns to ITV for a brand new series, as presenters Davina McCall and Nicky Campbell reunite more family members with their missing loved ones.
The sixth series of this much loved programme promises more extraordinary and heart-breaking stories, with some unexpected outcomes, reflecting the difficult twists and turns of real life that's not always "happy ever after".
From an adoption in a developing country in the 1980's, to the shocking world of Magdalene Laundries in 1960's Ireland, to using the newest family finding tool of DNA testing, the series explores new territory and tackles some of the most difficult social history of family separation through compelling and touching personal stories.
Across seven new episodes the programme scours the globe, traveling from New Zealand and Australia, to South America and Switzerland, as well as the length and breadth of the UK. Davina and Nicky track down and reunite family members, some of whom have been tirelessly searching for years, others who have spent their whole lives not even knowing that their relatives exist.
With guidance and support throughout, the programme joins fathers, mothers, daughters, sons and siblings as they uncover extraordinary family secrets. Although there are unpredictable turns along the way, this life-affirming series witnesses how being reunited with long lost family, or getting the answers to lifelong questions, can transform people's lives.
