Mum Convinced Her Son Was Swapped At Birth Finds Out The Truth

Mum Convinced Her Son Was Swapped At Birth Finds Out The Truth

"He looked different, his face was rounder, his skin was lighter."

A mother who was convinced that her son was swapped at birth had her world rocked when she found out he was her biological child on The Jeremy Kyle Show.

The mum, Anita, was so adamant that James was not her son that she gave him to her mother to raise.

While on the show, she said that the baby she was given had a 'rounder face and lighter skin' than the baby she had just given birth to.

As a result, she struggled to bond with James and has only now, 36 years later, plucked up the courage to get a paternity test.

Bizarrely, James too was utterly convinced that he wasn't the biological offspring of Anita. He said: "Everything made sense. My entire existence made sense.

"I don't look like the rest of my family and I have a very rare blood type."

Anita said that back in those days, babies were taken straight into a nursery and you 'just collected them'. She also added that James had ADHD when he was five and she struggled. She said: "He was so cruel to his younger brother.

"He tried to put needles in his eyes, it was like jealousy."

Well, it turns out that they are actually related. They hugged for the first time EVER, as James had previously mentioned that they'd never embraced before.

The official Jeremy Kyle Show Twitter account revealed what happened after the show...

So as you can see, "Jamie and Anita are very grateful to finally put the DNA doubts to rest and are closer than ever #result."

Happy ending there, nice to see that on Jezza.
