I hope people can take away that even with fear, you are not alone and welcoming a baby with a disability is the most amazing thing. There are some incredible charities and support systems out there should anyone need it. So reach out, talk, and know you’re not alone. X.4/4

Thank you to our director Rosina for being there for me throughout, (inc all my tears!), Emily, Tyler, Colleen, & everyone at Flicker for making this doc. And to Jo Clinton-Davis & team at ITV for recognising the value of a film like this. Representation on TV matters. 3/4

To be given an opportunity to tackle a subject as sensitive and emotional as this was a privilege I haven’t taken lightly. And gosh, was it an emotional journey. 2/4

Loved being on @GMB to chat about my visit and work with the incredible @shebahopegrows. What is being done out in Indonesia is truly incredible.

95% of the world's coral reefs are going to die in the next 2 decades. ⚠️. One woman doing her best to change this prediction is former Paralympian swimmer Ellie Simmonds, who's been working in Indonesia to create a man-made reef ecosystem. 🪸. @EllieSimmonds1

I didn’t have the written words to express my gratitude to the response to the documentary, so I made video. Well, two, because I inevitably cut myself off halfway through 😂.Thank you from the bottom of my heart 💙

It’s been an emotional journey for everyone involved. I’m so excited for everyone to see it, but I won’t lie, the closer we get to airing the more nervous & anxious I’m becoming. We started this more than a year ago & it’s surreal to be so close now. I just hope you like it 💙

Sooo… I can’t believe it’s finally here. My documentary ‘Finding My Secret Family’ airs 9pm Thursday on ITV. The film explores the correlation of disability & adoption, and also tells the story of my own adoption, which is something until now only my close friends & family knew.
