11 | Nicky Campbell & Esther Cameron

Broadcaster Nicky Campbell first met his birth sister Esther as adults, after they had independently traced their Irish birth mother. Both had been given up for adoption as babies, grew up in Edinburgh and were left with complicated feelings around belonging. In his new book 'One of the Family' Nick tells the whole story of his breakdown, diagnosis as bi-polar and being saved by the love of his dog, Maxwell. In this episode of Relatively, he and Esther share their parallel stories and reflect on questions of identity, family and the bond they now share as siblings.
