When discussing the possibility of having Welsh roots with the guests, he said: "I do love Wales."

One woman who appeared on the show, June, said she had links to Wales via her great grandfather.

"He was a Victorian magician", June said. "He was born John Jones, from Llangollen, in North Wales, and he became a magician at around the age of 19."

"That is quite mad," Craig replied.

"My grandfather - on my father's side - he was a magician, and a children's entertainer. Isn't that weird?

"He used to ride a penny-farthing through the streets. He taught me my first magic trick, and the theatre to it all."
