Presenter Clare Balding on how she has unearthed a shocking family secret and her connection to the birth of New York City.

Clare Balding has always been intrigued by hints of a scandal in her family. The sports presenter suspected that her maternal great grandfather, MP Sir Malcolm Bullock, was secretly gay, and in this week’s Who Do You Think You Are?, she discovers the truth about Malcolm’s friendship with celebrated artist Rex Whistler.

‘I was interested in Malcolm because there had been whispers about him in the family and things might have even been said in Parliament,’ Clare tells TV Times.

However, Clare’s investigation was hampered because some of Malcolm’s correspondence was burned by his daughter, Clare’s grandmother, Priscilla.

‘It was frustrating,’ says Clare, 46. ‘My grandmother was a forceful woman and I wonder whether the shame associated with Malcolm contributed to her later homophobia.’
