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

Tonight’s the night! 9pm, ITV, Ellie Simmonds: Should I have Children?. So so proud of this documentary. Cannot thank everyone who let me into their lives and shared their story with me. Your honesty, bravery and love make this film what it is. 1/4

So excited @ITV are showing Finding My Secret Family again tonight. On at 10.20pm xx.

Oh my gosh!!! I CANNOT believe we won a @BAFTA!!.It still hasn’t sunk in. Thank you to everyone who has been part of this journey, Flicker and ITV, and to everyone who has sent the most lovely messages. Literally doesn’t feel real!🤍

RT @MichaelGunning1: What a week! 🇬🇧 @EllieSimmonds1 #olympictrials

Cannot believe it… Finding my Secret Family is up for a @BAFTA! .Opening up about my story was emotional & also hearing others, having the opportunity shine a light on other people’s stories. Thank you to everyone, especially the incredible contributors, team at Flicker & ITV x

Eeeek! Had such fun filming this @britishgas campaign with @TomDaley1994 and @JohnsonThompson. What's your plans this Sunday? #PeakSave. @ParalympicsGB .@TeamGB

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.

RT @lorraine: What do @Harry_Styles' primary school teachers actually have to say about him? 🙊. Superfan @EllieSimmonds1 visited his home v….

Received so many incredible messages - thank you so much. I’ve read every single one of them and they genuinely mean so much. If you had any questions about anything in the documentary, I’m answering them over on my Instagram stories. Please feel free to send them over x.

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 💙

Thank you everyone.💙

RT @guardiang2: Ellie Simmonds on finding her birth mother: ‘During this journey I cried so much’

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.

Can’t wait to see everyone on Sunday! And so excited to be an ambassador for the Sure Breaking Limits Programme!.

It’s finally here! So excited!.

Soooooo much fun! And so good to hang out with you too @SarahMillican75 xx.
