I'm So Angry Mum Never Told Me About Birth Dad

TV’s Trisha Goddard reveals anguish at family secret

- Mark Jefferies

Angry Trisha Goddard has told how her mother never revealed her dad Peter was not her biological father – leaving her still searching for family members decades later.

In an emotional interview, the TV host said she thought “something is different” from the age of six and feels betrayed by her late mother Agnes.

Trisha, 63, said: “I felt very angry towards Mum. She could have told me.

“And there were excuses like I wasn’t ready, I wasn’t stable, then I was in the public eye and what have you.

“But I don’t think I would have judged her. It made a huge difference.”

Trisha was brought up by Agnes, who was born in Dominica, and dad Peter from Suffolk, who met as trainee nurses.

They had three other daughters who were all younger than Trisha.
