Long Lost Family Twins: What Happened Next - ITV

Long Lost Family Twins: What Happened Next is a one-off special devoted to reconnecting twins who have lost touch

In Long Lost Family Twins: What Happened Next, the unique bond between twins is explored (Monday, 8pm, see our TV Guide for full details).

Nicky Campbell and Davina McCall’s heart-warming and emotional show takes a look at three sets of identical siblings who have all been reunited after being split up as babies.

While Elaine and Mary reveal how they met again in their 30s, after not being allowed contact as children in Chesterfield, 12-year-old Chinese-born Gracie and Audrey, who live with their different adoptive families in the US and both have a heart condition, undergo tests in London to see how identical their bodies are.
