The programme aims to reunite lost family members - often close relatives who have never properly met. Along the way the show uncovers the stories and long-hidden family secrets behind the separations, supporting the family as they become a part of each other's lives again. Long Lost Family will return to our screens on Mondays at 6pm on ITV. If you miss out, you can always catch up on ITV Hub. This series follows ex-Liverpool and Leeds defender Dominic Matteo, as he searches for his birth mother after a brain tumour left him "fighting for his life." Matteo was put up for adoption as a baby, and has never known who his birth mother is. While Matteo had a very happy childhood with his adoptive family, his brush with death has made him question his beginnings: "I got to a place where I was just thinking about meeting my birth mother. "When you're close to your life being over, it just becomes more important." Matteo became seriously ill in November 2019, and underwent life-saving surgery to remove a life-threatening brain tumour. While he has now made a full recovery, he credits the illness with changing his perspective on life: "I'm not sure we'd have had this conversation before my illness, I'm not sure, I'm not sure, but it's made me think completely differently about life." Long Lost Family is presented by Davina McCall and Nicky Campbell. Sign up for our newsletters so you never miss a story.
