‘I wanted to be noticed’ – three famous adoptees on how it made them successful | The Daily T

Michael Gove, Nicky Campbell and Andrew Pierce have all forged highly successful careers in journalism and broadcasting, with Gove serving many years in government too.

But the men also share a very particular childhood experience: being adopted.

In this special episode, Camilla sits down with the the trio to understand how that fact has forged their lives and careers.

They explain feeling different from their peers growing up; finding their birth mothers (or choosing not to); and how wanting to prove to their parents that they were right to adopt them became “a driving force” for their careers in the public eye.
