Alison Hammond has revealed she is part Scottish after embarking on a road trip to discover her family history for an ITV show which aired last night.
The This Morning presenter was joined by Good Morning Britain's Kate Garraway and they used a mix of DNA and genealogy, meeting living family members they never knew existed.
During their journey it was revealed that Alison's great-great-grandfather was a campaigner for human rights who ended up winning a case at the Houses of Parliament.
Alison said: "There's so much more to the story, so many more cliffhangers that happened and so many problems along the way."
She also found out that she has 16% Scottish heritage.
Kate's story was just as interesting as she discovered that she also had a Jamaican connection and she is even related to Paddington Bear.
