Angela had not seen son Alan in eight years because he was living in New Zealand.
She was none the wiser as Michael invited her on stage to FaceTime with Alan and her three grandchildren, who she had never met.
But the grandmother was stunned as a curtain suddenly went up.
Her jaw dropped as she realised that her family were not half way across the world after all, but right there in the studio.
There were tears all around as Angela admitted she had thought she would never see her son again.
