DNA Journey cast: Who appears in the ITV reality series?

GET ready to have your heart warmed this autumn, with the return of a much-loved show.

DNA Journey - which sees pairs of famous faces find out the backstory to their family history - is back on ITV for its fourth season.

Who is in the cast of ITV's DNA Journey?

Rob Beckett and Romesh Ranganathan - Episode 1

In the first episode comedians and best mates, Rob Beckett and Romesh Ranganathan kick off the new series.

They embark on a road trip to find out about their family history.

Using a mix of DNA and genealogy, they meet family they never knew existed.

While there are plenty of laughs along the way, there’s also some surprising and moving emotion from TV’s top funny men.

Alison Hammond and Kate Garraway - Episode 2

Daytime queens Alison Hammond and Kate Garraway take on this incredible DNA Journey together.

They travel all over the globe, from Bristol to Jamaica.

They find out that some of their own colourful and extraordinary ancestors would definitely make an eye-opening item of one of their morning shows.

Alison Steadman and Larry Lamb

Gavin & Stacey stars Alison Steadman and Larry Lamb team up again, but this time to go back to their roots.

The pair are known for playing Gavin's mum and dad, Pamela Shipman and Mick/Michael Shipman, in the series that first aired on the BBC in 2007.

ITV haven't released information about what happens on their DNA Journey yet.

But the pair were spotted filming together in August 2022, in none other than Barry Island.

Joel Dommett and Tom Allen

Another comedy pair - Joel Dommett and Tom Allen - have also teamed up for the show.

Like Alison and Larry, ITV are keeping tight-lipped about their episode.

The Masked Singer host Joel has become a huge star since he appeared on I'm A Celebrity back in 2016.

While Tom has equally become a well known face on the box, thanks to his presenting gigs on spin-off shows for The Apprentice and Bake Off.

DNA Journey season three

Season three of DNA Journey aired in April 2022, and you can re-watch these episodes on the now.

The celebrities pairs that took part were:

• Episode 1 - Chasers Anne Hegerty and Shaun Wallace.
• Episode 2 - Actresses Dame Maureen Lipman and Rula Lenska, who met on the set of Corrie.
• Episode 3 - Olympic gold medallists and Dancing On Ice judges Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean AKA Torvill and Dean.

DNA Journey season two

Season two saw three more pairings:

Episode 1 - Sporting stars Jamie Redknapp and Freddie Flintoff
Episode 2 - TV presenters Amanda Holden and Alan Carr
Episode 3 - Father and son Martin and Roman Kemp

DNA Journey season one

DNA Journey kicked off with a two part special on TV favourites Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly.

The surprising outcome was that they are actually related.

And the success of the show spawned a full series.

When does DNA Journey start on ITV?

DNA Journey 2022 returns for its fourth season TONIGHT (September 29, 2022) at 9pm on ITV.

The show will air for four episodes, all on Thursday nights.
