What is DNA Journey about?
Similar to the BBC's Who Do You Think You Are, the show sees celebrities looking into their family history.
The show first aired in 2019 as a special following Geordie TV duo Ant and Dec, who found out they shared a Viking ancestor making them distant cousins.
We wonder what this year's line-up will find out!
Katie Rawcliffe, Head of Commissioning for ITV said: “This promises to be a fascinating series as viewers will get to follow their favourite stars who find themselves on one of the most emotional, thrilling and insightful road trips of their lives.”
Ant and Dec added: “DNA Journey was such an incredible experience for us. It’s such an emotional rollercoaster of a show and this new series doesn’t disappoint."
Who are the celebrities on series two of DNA Journey?
As well as Flintoff and Redknapp, TV personalities Alan Carr and Amanda Holden, and father and son duo Martin and Roman Kemp will also be researching their family trees.
As TV duo Ant and Dec did two years ago, the celebrity pairings will bring with them friendly rivalry and humour as well as the proverbial shoulder to cry on for the emotionally charged revelations and dramatic twists, in what promises to be an experience they’ll never forget.
DNA Journey continues on ITV on Wednesday, 17th March at 9pm. If you’re looking for something else to watch, check out our TV Guide. Visit our hub for more news on Documentaries.
