Never mind the Queen Vic - Danny Dyer has a real-life connection to royalty, the latest series of Who Do You Think You Are? reveals.
The popular genealogy show returns this year for its 13th series, with Dyer joining stars such as Cheryl, Sir Ian McKellen and Amanda Holden in tracing back their family trees.
In the new series, Cheryl discovers the story of her long-forgotten great-grandfather, a Tommy during the First World War, while Amanda delves into the story of a Napoleonic-era cross-channel romance.

Last year's series told the stories of Mark Gatiss, Paul Hollywood and Derek Jacobi as they discovered who their ancestors were.
Who Do You Think You Are? will air on BBC One later this year.
