The celebrity lineup for the next series of BBC genealogy show Who Do You Think You Are? has been revealed.
The 20th series will feature two actresses from The Crown, with Claire Foy discovering that her ancestors were caught up in a murder trial and Lesley Manville finding out that a family member paid a heavy price for fighting for worker rights.
Legend of the musical, Andrew Lloyd Webber, unearths some "uncanny parallels" between his life and those of his ancestors, while The Inbetweeners star Emily Atack stumbles upon a surprising connection involving her, Ryan Reynolds and Wrexham football club.
Other celebs featured on the series include DJ Dev Griffin, Strictly Come Dancing's Kevin Clifton, twin doctors Chris and Xand van Tulleken, comedian Chris Ramsey and adventurer Bear Grylls.
"As one of Britain's most beloved documentary series returns for series 20, the lineup of household names, and the array of astonishing family histories, grow from strength to strength," said Simon Young, the BBC's head of history.
"This series is often imitated but never bettered, and this latest edition demonstrates why."
Who Do You Think You Are? airs on BBC One from early June.
