A recovering drug addict, Abi put the youngsters in danger more than once and so they were adopted out by social services.

Two years ago Abi was left devastated when the twins’ adoptive parents moved them to Australia.

She missed out on the chance to say goodbye when she was crushed by a car in the garage,

But in tonight’s episode she had an emotional reunion with them - and it was all thanks to her late son Seb.

Abi was overcome with emotion and thanked Kevin, who revealed it was all Seb’s plan.

“There was a letter to Seb,” Kevin said about how he found the letter. 

“He wanted to surprise you. He found out they were in England for Christmas and set the wheels in motion.
