The BBC has confirmed the names of the eight celebrities taking part in this year's Who Do You Think You Are?

The lineup for the new series of the show, which sees celebs trace their family histories, includes Hollywood actor Andrew Garfield, ex-EastEnders star Ross Kemp, singer Will Young and comedian Aisling Bea.

Strictly Come Dancing favourite Layton Williams, First Dates maitre d' Fred Sirieix, comedian Diane Morgan and journalist Mishal Husain will also feature.

Executive producer Colette Flight said: "Spanning centuries and travelling the globe, Who Do You Think You Are? is back, with eight much-loved celebrities to entertain and captivate us as they delve into their family histories.

"As they discover their ancestors' adventures, triumphs, trials and tribulations, their rich family stories reveal incredible snapshots of history, including one of the greatest villains of Medieval England, the evacuation at Dunkirk, rescuing art looted by the Nazis, and the birth of American Independence."

The new series is due to air on BBC One in the coming months.
