She's already won the heart of the nation with her heartbreaking documentaries on her husband Derek Draper's health battle and now Kate Garraway is preparing to share even more about her private life in DNA Journey.

Delving into her past, the GMB host will appear in the 'heart-wrenching' new ITV series which investigates secrets of the past where she'll team up with This Morning favourite Alison Hammond.

The latest DNA technology and genealogy will be 'used to uncover the truth behind their bloodlines, as well as coming face to face with living relatives they didn’t even know existed'.

A source told The Sun: "It is always an emotional watch as stars discover new stories from their family's past. Kate's episode promises to be a real tear-jerker. 

"She has so much going on in the present day so any mention of caregiving, illness or tragedy from her past will resonate.

"Viewers love Kate and are incredibly invested in her journey. DNA Journeys is set to be another heart-wrenching chapter of her story."

Also pairing up for the 'voyage of discovery' are Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean, Maureen Lipman and Rula Lenska and The Chase stars Anne Hegarty and Shaun Wallace.

A second helping of the series will see Rob Beckett and Romesh Ranganathan, Gavin & Stacey's Alison Steadman and Larry Lamb, and Joel Dommett and Tom Allen pair up for the emotional DNA rollercoaster.

Buckle up.
