LONG Lost family viewers broke down in tears this evening as a woman discovered she has four full siblings after being abandoned at birth.
Niki Weadon was left on the step of a tower block as a baby in 1987 and had no idea about her birth family until she appeared on the show.
In shock scenes she discovered her parents both passed away at a young age but had four other children, who they kept.
Niki was the middle child – leaving her siblings very confused about why she was given up.
They revealed their mum struggled with depression and tragically lost a few children due to miscarriage.
Their father was a schizophrenic and they had a difficult childhood, which they believe might have led to the decision to abandon Niki.
