A LLF episode brings about a special reunion Long Lost FAMILY
REAL LIFE 9PM, ITV
Not every longed-for reunion ends in a happyever-after. Last year, Yasika was reunited with her Sri Lankan birth mother, but, sadly, there’s been no further contact. However, her story has taken a very different turn. Watching at home as LLF aired was Thilinie, who was born in Sri Lanka in the very same week as Yasika and adopted by Irish parents from the same convent. Now, the pair meet for the first time 33 years after their lives began in neighbouring cots 5,500 miles away, as Thilinie begins the search for her own birth mother. We also catch up with Paula, who was reunited with her Native American family via video call in 2021, but now meets them in person for the first time. ★★★ HD
