Long Lost Family returns with series 13 and perhaps one of the most emotional stories ever – that of Paul Connolly.
Paul, now 60, was abandoned as a baby, and suffered horrendous abuse during his brutal childhood. In the first episode of Long Lost Family series 13, he is shocked to discover the truth about his parents.
Born in East London in 1962, Paul believed he was the eighth child of an Irish family who’d moved to London in the 1950s. His father is listed as Matthew Connolly and his mother Mary Connolly on his birth certificate.
But, as he investigates his true origins, Paul – who now lives in Billericay – discovers that his birth certificate is a lie.
