Alongside his famous brothers Adam and Scott, Ryan made a documentary called Absolutely India: Mancs In Mumbai, where they will explore their family roots.
The boys retrace their beloved grandad Nolan's footsteps in his country of birth, before he emigrated to the UK in 1947, with their dad.
The month-long trip enabled the family to make some new and incredible memories and also helped to cement their bond with each other, especially that the boys' father wasn't always around during their youth.
