Diane Morgan to appear on 'Who Do You Think You Are?'
The celebrities involved in the 2025 series of BBC genealogy show Who Do You Think You Are? have been revealed.
She may have spoofed the format in her Philomena Cunk series, but Motherland and Mandy star Diane Morgan will be taking part in the documentary format for real, it's now been revealed. The BBC says, in her episode, she "gets to do some real-life learning, involving a poignant love story and her ancestor's brave fight for the rights of her illegitimate children".
Also on the new series will be comedian and actor Aisling Bea. On Who Do You Think You Are?, she will discover a family history of violent tragedy, female resilience and a passion for Irish independence.
Bad Education star Layton Williams is also set to appear in the programme's next run. The actor, who also found fame via Strictly Come Dancing, will investigate his London roots, revealing a surprising musical connection, before travelling to Jamaica where he will uncover some distressing family history.
The new series, which will begin on BBC One later this season, will also feature actor Andrew Garfield, pop star Will Young, presenter Ross Kemp, First Dates star Fred Sirieix and journalist Mishal Husain.
