DNA Journey continues its fifth series this Thursday, June 26, at 9 PM on ITV1, as it brings together two more familiar faces to uncover their family histories. This week, former Made in Chelsea personality Sam Thompson and musician Marvin Humes take turns exploring their pasts, with some surprising finds along the way.
Sam Thompson admits to being “clueless” about his ancestry, and the episode will follow him as he digs into the roots of his full name, Sam de Courcy Thompson. The exploration looks to reveal more about his lineage and perhaps explain some long-held family stories. Marvin Humes, on the other hand, sets out to find out more about his Jamaican heritage, specifically his grandparents’ journey to the UK as part of the Windrush generation.
The series is built around these personal discoveries, blending genealogical research with celebrity insights. Expect emotional reactions and some genuine revelations as both men trace their roots across generations and continents. For anyone interested in how family history shapes identity, this looks to be a good one.
DNA Journey airs Thursday, June 26, 2025, at 9:00 PM on ITV1.
