Set to air later this year, Who Do You Think You Are? promises an exciting lineup, including former BBC Radio 2 Breakfast Show host Zoe Ball. A TV insider shared, “While Fred may not be the headliner, his family history is sure to be one of the most intriguing.
Although he’s known for being French, his genealogy journey is expected to uncover some surprising revelations. Fred recently discovered unexpected ancestry, and the show might explore that further, though producers are keeping the details under wraps.”
Fred shared that a DNA test indicates he likely has significant ancestry from the British Isles. He revealed, “I’m six percent Welsh, with some Irish and English roots as well. It’s not a big surprise, though, because my hometown of Limoges was once a Celtic settlement about 3,000 years ago. The Celts traveled from Wales and Ireland to Brittany, and then to Limoges, which explains why my DNA shows I’m 78 percent French.”
Fred has also been busy marrying his partner of seven years, known as Fruitcake, with whom he has appeared on Celebrity Gogglebox. The couple tied the knot in Jamaica and recently shared photos from their special day on Instagram. One might wonder if she knows her husband isn’t as French as she originally thought…
