The series is presented by Davina McCall and Nicky Campbell, who team up to support individuals on a very personal quest. Their role is to guide two participants as they try to locate the birth mothers they have never met, turning a private search into a televised journey. The format centres on the presenters’ involvement in the investigative process, offering help and resources to the people seeking answers. Both participants are on a mission to find the women who gave them birth but have been absent from their lives. One of the searches follows a woman who, as a toddler, was taken to Morocco against her mother’s wishes. This particular case adds an international dimension to the programme, highlighting how far the search can extend when a birth mother is missing. The other participant’s story is likewise built around the desire to reconnect with a mother who has been out of reach. Throughout the episode, McCall and Campbell work closely with the two searchers, coordinating efforts and navigating the challenges that arise when trying to trace someone who has disappeared from a family’s history. Their involvement underscores the practical side of the endeavour, showing how the presenters use their platforms to assist people in uncovering long‑lost family connections.
