I wondered why Ann had said to Adrian "that's my boy" when he told her he had 10 children. But if she had had 7 herself!!

Obviously a very complicated story, but Ann did not want to share it with the wider world. And why should she?

Certainly puts a different complexion to the story doesn't it?

Never heard of acting and drama, Hayley? Ann wants to display to the wider audience what she wants to display. We are all a bit too forensic (nosey) about these programmes perhaps.

Now if Jeremy Kyle was doing the programme rather than Nicky and Davina, I think you would have got more of the answers you want. :-) :-)

I haven't seen the further Facebook additions - but it is possible that it was only after the reunion we saw that the contact with the other brothers and sisters was triggered.

I wouldn't watch at all, I do not like Jeremy Kyle or his chavvy show. Nicky and Davina are just the presenters getting paid to present and front a show, although it often shows Nicky tapping in to his PC or laptop I doubt very much that he does the reserch or Davina for that matter. They turn up when required and does his bit for camera they don't get involved in the ground work.

Yeah I am nosey thats why I have already traced Ann's marriage and know her married name and that of husband..........still if she wanted it to remain that private she wouldnt of done all her reunion on a TV show ;-)

Thought last night was best yet. I particularly wept with the mother and her son from New Zealand. What a lovely couple. Face was wringing wet when I climbed to bedsville last night :-)

And how clever of Nicky to find the newspaper article about death of father in the brother and sister from Scotland/Northumberland. I think he is on a par with Anthony Adolph, Hayley ;-)
