viewers were in tears as the show helped a woman who has been battling cancer find her daughter. The ITV series - which is presented by TV stars and Nicky Campbell – sees people trying to track down lost relatives. Each episode sees the hosts investigating what happened and then, hopefully, locating and reuniting people with their absent loved ones.
Monday night's instalment (19 August) featured a woman named Charlotte, whose bid to find her daughter Tracy had gathered pace after she was diagnosed with bowel cancer. In the moving episode, she told how she had fallen pregnant when she was a teenager and had her baby girl, who she named Tracy. Her parents sent her to a mother and baby home, which she likened to a prison.
She decided it was not the place to raise a child and ended up putting her baby up for adoption. Now a grandmother, Charlotte told how determined she was to find the daughter who had always been in her heart. The team managed to track down Tracy, now named Sarah.
She shared that she'd had a happy life after being adopted and was very close to her adoptive mother but was open to meeting and getting to know her birth mum. In a moving twist, McCall told Charlotte that Sarah had been found and wanted to meet her on the same day that she got her all clear from doctors. Viewers were emotional as mother and daughter were brought together for a touching reunion that saw both in tears.
Wiping her eyes, Charlotte admitted it felt like "heaven" to finally be hugging the.
