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
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.

So excited @ITV are showing Finding My Secret Family again tonight.

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

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. 🪸

What do @Harry_Styles' primary school teachers actually have to say about him? 🙊
Superfan @EllieSimmonds1 visited his home village of Holmes Chapel, taking the walking tour and exclusively dropping in on his primary school 🤩

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 💙

Ellie Simmonds on finding her birth mother: ‘During this journey I cried so much’ theguardian.com/lifeandstyle…
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!
We are very proud to announce that five-times Paralympic Gold medallist and newly appointed Sure Breaking Limits Programme Brand Ambassador, Ellie Simmonds OBE, will be attending Parallel Windsor 2023, this Sunday 2nd July!
