FOR 20 years, Who Do You Think You Are? has traced the ancestries of our favourite celebrities, letting viewers watch as their incredible family secrets come to light.

As the BBC show marks its 20th anniversary, producer Collette Flight said Dyer's reaction when he found out that his 15x great-grandfather was Thomas Cromwell and that he was descended from Edward III, will stand as one of the show's best moments.
