‘Who Do You Think You Are?’ Returns To BBC For 15th Season This Summer

BBC One’s long-running genealogy show Who Do You Think You Are? will return for a 15th Season this Summer the broadcaster has announced.

Guest who will be delving into their family’s past this time around include multi-award winning actor Olivia Colman, musician, DJ, fashion designer and British icon Boy George, ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ Head Judge Shirley Ballas, comedian and ‘Not Going Out’ actor Lee Mack, presenter and former JLS member Marvin Humes, barrister and television personality Robert ‘Judge’ Rinder, ‘Our Girl’ star Michelle Keegan and gold medal-winning Paralympian Jonnie Peacock.

As ever, the show reveals shocking discoveries, laughter and tears along the way, as the 8 celebrities travel around the world to unearth the secrets of their ancestors. 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 around the world, from Gibraltar to Genoa, India, Jamaica, South Africa and Latvia, as they solve the mysteries in their family trees.

The series will air on BBC One over the summer with Michelle Keegan’s episode launching the series as part of the Hear Her season on the BBC which marks the centenary of women getting the vote.

“Britain’s best-loved stars are once again delving into their family trees, uncovering hidden secrets and solving mysteries,” comments Colette Flight, Exec Producer from production company Wall to Wall. “The stories they unearth are revelatory, often unexpectedly humorous but always affecting.”
