Alison, who was joined by co-star Larry Lamb on the show, was shocked by the life-changing news, which was revealed to her on tonight's episode after researchers dug into her DNA history. Alison was born in Liverpool to Marjorie and George Percival Steadman, and was the youngest of three sisters. TV star Alison told Larry, 75, that she was informed off-camera that her dad was eight months old when he was adopted. Discussing the revelation with the researchers, they told her they had analysed her DNA to discover the origins of your bloodline, which lead back to Isle of Man. But the researcher explained there was no genetic link to herself and other people that have a genetic link to the Steadman line. After hearing the shock news, Alison broke down in tears and told Larry: "I haven't' been able to tell you this, but it's been discovered that my father was adopted. "Nobody knew, no one has ever said a word in the family." Becoming increasingly choked up, Alison said: "I really find it hard to believe, he was close to his mother. "You'd think if he was adopted somewhere along the lines, something would have been said. "He was a lot younger than his brother and sister and didn't look at all like them, but we didn't think anything of it." In floods of tears, she continued: "If it is true, I don't know what to say, I just find it quite sad. "It just means that I'm not related to my grandma." She recalled the final moments she shared with her father befo){kind=link}
