Radio One DJ Chris Moyles has admitted that he broke down in tears whilst filming for BBC’s ‘Who Do You Think You Are.’

He told ITV1’s This Morning: “I did cry at the end … it was long 12 hour days, all done in a week, and you know nothing – you’re drip fed bits of information, and it is information overload.”

“I had to sit in my hotel at night and make my family tree to remind me who all these names were, and there’s a bit right at the end of the show where I get upset.

Chris added: “They basically take me to a field where my great grandfather got shot in the war, where many many people died, and because you’ve followed this story for a week you do really get massively sucked in and suddenly this fella who I’ve never met is suddenly very real.”
