Shaun Williamson has great bond with secret son

OHMYGOSSIP — Shaun Williamson’s secret son has hailed their bond as a “miracle”.
The ‘EastEnders’ legend was tracked down by his Gary Robinson in 2013 after the former circus clown discovered the man he thought was his father wasn’t really his dad, and now the pair meet up six times a year and are looking to make up for lost time.
Although Gary took several months to come to terms with the fact Shaun is his real dad, he admitted “finding him is the best thing that’s ever happened”.
He said: “My nan used to tell me I loved EastEnders as a boy. One of my favourites was Barry. Nan always told me his storylines had me hooked and made me laugh.
“For years I thought someone else was my dad, but some information from my mum and a paternity test revealed that it was in fact the bloke I used to watch on the TV all those years ago.
“I tell people I meet that ‘Barry from ­EastEnders is my dad’ — they never believe me, but it’s true.
“The guy I thought was my father left when I was six, but to now have the relationship I do with Shaun is a dream. It’s proof that sometimes miracles do happen.”
Shaun, 55, added to The Sun on Sunday newspaper: “Father’s Day has never been more important to me. I now have three wonderful kids. To find Gary and get on so well with him shows you the incredible things life can throw up. I know I’ve missed out on a lot of his life — now I can make up for it.”
And Gary gets on well with the rest of Shaun’s family.
The actor said: “My first concern was that my other adult kids Sophie and Joe were OK. But they were absolutely great with it.”
Gary – whose juggler mum’s name has not been revealed – thinks his love of performing must be genetic because of his famous dad.
He said: “For years, my dad was my mum’s partner, Gary. What’s quite amazing is that, like my dad, I have always been into performing.
“I was in the circus as a bo y and loved being a clown. I went to drama school and loved playing the fool and ­making people laugh. It was in my genes and now I see why.”
Shaun admitted he had always had a “niggling doubt” that he could be Gary’s real father.
Gary said: “My sister found out and said, ‘Enough is enough, it’s time to give Gary the chance to connect with his roots.’ I was stunned. This guy I’d seen on TV was my dad? It was hard to get my head around it.
“I decided to send a message to Shaun’s team just saying, ‘Gary from the circus wants to get in touch.’ ”
Shaun added: “When I received that email I just knew. I had been carrying this niggling doubt for years that Gary could have been mine and now here it was, more than a quarter of a century on.
“We had a paternity test and it came back positive. I was his dad.”
