Tom Allen related to Gloria Hunniford

OHMYGOSSIP — Tom Allen has discovered he is related to Gloria Hunniford.
The stand-up comedian finds out he is a cousin of the Northern Irish TV star after tracing his lineage on this week’s episode of ITV genealogy show ‘DNA Journey’.
During Thursday’s (20.10.22) episode, comedian pals Joel Dommett and Tom embark on a road trip around the UK to delve into their ancestry.
After learning about the tragic history of Tom’s great grandparents, which includes a criminal past and his grandmother being given up for adoption, the biggest shock comes when it’s revealed that the ‘Apprentice: You’re Fired’ host is related to TV legend Gloria.
Leading up to the moment where Tom finds out, he says: “I’m so nervous. It’s really intimidating, the whole thing. What if they’re like, slightly irritated by me. It’s exciting, but … I can’t rest.”
Gloria, not knowing who she’s related to, replied: “Oh my goodness! I love both of you.”
Dumbfounded by the news that Tom is her cousin, the ‘Loose Women’ star said: “Is it you? Oh, it’s you Tom?” She then hugs a disappointed Joel.
The comedians and TV presenters are the latest pair of celebrities to research their family trees for the show.
‘Good Morning Britain’ host Kate Garraway recently discovered she was related to author Michael Bond, who is best known for his stories about marmalade munching Paddington Bear.
Other stars who have embarked on a DNA search included presenting duo Ant and Dec, and ice-skating Olympians Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean.
In next week’s episode, stars of ‘Gavin and Stacey’, Larry Lamb and Alison Steadman, will go on the journey to learn more about their family ties.
‘DNA Journey’, Thursday 20th October at 9pm on ITV and ITV Hub.
