The Chase star Anne Hegerty appears alongside fellow chaser Shaun Wallace on ITV's DNA Journey on Tuesday, April 5 - and discovers she's a distant cousin of the Queen. Going back in time, Anne and Shaun discover their long-lost heritage and find relatives who are still alive.
Anne found out that she is connected to royalty in the show and that she is the 19th cousin to Queen Elizabeth II. This was not a total surprise to Anne as her grandmother had previously revealed their royal link but she didn't believe her as The Mirror reports.
On the show she said: "Wow, that is cool. But my grandmother was the most tremendous liar. My aunt said she was a romancer and she'd embroider life a bit, so I always felt that anything from my grandmother had to be taken with a pinch of salt."
