Viewers of Lorraine on ITV slammed the show this morning (Monday July 5) after it interviewed two participants from the new series of Long Lost Family.
The emotional reunion series begins a new run tonight, and a mum and daughter were interviewed by host Lorraine Kelly after they were reunited after 50 years apart.
However, fans slammed the interview – not because of the lovely story, but because it revealed too much.
What happened on Lorraine on ITV?
Before chatting to the reunited mum and daughter, clips showed the two before they met on the show.
Lisa Phillips from Staffordshire told Davina McCall that she wanted to know what her mother was like and what she looked like.

And, when Davina told her that they had found her mum, the tears started to flow.
Back in the studio, Lorraine interviewed the pair and asked them about their story.
And mum Sue – in Southampton – said she had thought of Lisa every single day, but didn’t want to search for her daughter for fear of upsetting Lisa’s adoptive parents.
