LONG LOST FAMILY

NEW THURSDAY, 9PM, ITV1 FACTUAL

The joy of reuniting estranged relatives never wanes for Long Lost Family presenters Davina McCall and Nicky Campbell.

'I love the show with all my heart,' enthuses Davina, 57, as the ITV1 hit returns for a 15th outing. 'Sometimes I'll go into a new series wondering if we've heard every possible way that people might be looking for family members but, every time, I'm amazed.'

'I would never have dreamt that it would change so many lives,' adds Nicky, 64. 'And it has changed my life, too.'

Here, Davina and Nicky tell us more...

What can we expect from the latest seven-part run?

NICKY It's one of the strongest we've had. After 15 series, there is still that human desire for the truth, redemption and reconciliation.

DAVINA The variety of people that want to find each other is unbelievable. We've got lots of men in this series, and it's great to see them being vulnerable after having wanted to find a child or a brother for years.
