Who do you think you are?

That was a good one about Bruce Forsyth's gt grandfather

Bruce Forsyth has admitted that discoveries about his family history left him emotional on Who Do You Think You Are?.

The veteran entertainer, who signed up to be a subject on the factual programme, was "choked" by the death of his great grandfather Joseph Forsyth Johnson, who was apparently penniless.

Speaking to What's On TV, the Strictly Come Dancing host revealed: "I was a bit choked in the final scenes. Before then I didn't have a high opinion of him, but when it came to the end, he was pretty ill and it was rather sad.

"[My children] have not seen it. I've decided they're all coming to the house and we're going to put the DVD on and show them altogether. It's because I can't go through it again and again. See, I'm going to start crying now!"

His Gt Grandfather was a top Gardener in the UK ... married with 6 children, then cleared off to America with a pregnant woman in tow and started a new life there. Had more kids in the states before clearing off back to the UK. His family in the states thought he had died at sea in the 1890's but he returned to the States in 1904 and died with just under $400 dollars to his name in the hotel where he was residing at in New York in 1906 - buried in the poor plot in cemetery there. Brucie got to meet the American branch of his family for the first time. Great start to the series.
