An eclectic bunch of faces are the subjects of the next series of Who Do You Think You Are?, that’s been confirmed for BBC One this summer.
The official list of episodes has been released, and we’re getting…
The mighty Olivia Colman
The iconic Boy George
The Strictly judge Shirley Ballas
Writer, actor and upcoming Doctor Who guest star Lee Mack
Former JLS member Marvin Humes
Er, Judge Rinder
Our Girl’s Michelle Keegan
Gold-winning Paralympian Jonnie Peacock
As per the official announcement, “Michelle Keegan uncovers some exceptional women on her family tree as she unearths a special connection to suffragette leader Emmeline Pankhurst. Olivia Colman’s journey is one of equal contrasts as she voyages from her family home in Norfolk to India, discovering that her ancestry is more diverse than she had originally thought. While Lee Mack’s investigation brings to light a comedy connection to his great-grandfather who performed on the frontline during WW1. From adultery to asylums, illicit drinking dens to revolutions, our celebrities travel round the world, from Gibraltar to Genoa, India, Jamaica, South Africa and Latvia, as they solve the mysteries in their family trees”.
The first episode will feature Michelle Keegan. We’ll let you know when we get an exact transmission date.
