Single people in Sidmouth who would like to be reunited with a long lost love could be given a second chance at happiness by taking part in a new ITV programme.

Wall To Wall Media, the makers of Long Lost Family are currently casting in Sidmouth for a new ITV programme provisionally entitled 'Lost Love Stories'.

The programme will document the journey of those keen to reunite with a lost love after spending years apart.

Told against a backdrop of rich social history, the programme will feature stories of love affairs broken apart by circumstance - be it war, migration, social divide or prejudice.

Wall To Wall Media's Felicity Wall said: "Through their enduring tales of love we'll delve into the social history of Britain – exploring the attitudes, events and evolving technology that contributed to their journey from heartbreak to heartache - and finally, to a happily-ever-after.

"We understand that returning to a young love after so many years can be daunting. Especially if the reasons for splitting were difficult, complicated and emotional.

"We are looking for a range of stories – tales of wartime sweethearts , childhood sweethearts, first loves, holiday romance stories and much more. If there are any couples who have been separated as a result of circumstance and are currently seeking a reunion, we would love to hear from them."

Producers would like to hear from anyone who is keen to reconnect with a lost love. Email: [email protected] or call 020 3301 8577 for details.

All applicants must be single and 18 or over. All information shared with Wall To Wall will be treated as confidential.
