Long Lost Family: Born Without Trace viewers were left underwhelmed on Wednesday (June 25) night as the family backgrounds of two foundlings were investigated.
Last night’s episode of the ITV reunion series saw hosts Davina McCall and Nicky Campbell focus on two separate people who were given up as infants.
Tina was found on the steps outside a hospital in Stoke-on-Trent in 1970. And Jon was discovered by three young girls in the disabled toilet of a Milton Keynes Leisure Centre car park in 1984.
Long Lost Family branded ‘disappointing’
However, while both Tina and Jon found out more about where they had come from, several of those watching at home weren’t as thrilled.
That’s because neither Tina or Jon got to have an on camera meet up with their blood relatives – and some viewers complained this rendered the programme “pointless” and “disappointing”.
Hate episodes like these as meeting the family is essential to the programme’s dynamic.
Just one Long Lost Family viewer among many moaned on Facebook: “Disappointing episode. Although fantastic outcome. Neither participants siblings wanted to be on camera or either parents. Hate episodes like these as meeting the family is essential to the programme’s dynamic. Not to see this is a big let down.”
