Who Do You Think You Are - S07E02 - Chris Moyles (22nd July 2009)[PDTV(XviD)] avi

Chris Moyles has revealed that he cried at the end of filming Who Do You Think You Are as he uncovered his ancestry and went to the First World War battlefield where his great-grandfather was killed.



Speaking to Phil Schofield and Fern Britton about the show, he explained: "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.



"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."



He said that the producers did so much research into his family before they started filming they knew more about them than he did.



Moylesy explained: "We had to go to Ireland to film mine and I said 'oh I must give my aunty a ring to tell her I'm here' and the producer goes 'your Aunty May?' and I'm like 'how do you know my aunty May?'... they know everything and you know nothing! It's the weirdest show to do. It's like the TV show Treasure Hunt but with bad news!"
