But ITV put the film on hold as McPartlin grappled with personal issues including a drunk driving charge, for which he was eventually fined £86,000 in April 2018.Ant & Dec’s DNA JourneyOver the course of the documentary, thehosts will trace their blood lines using their DNA to search their ancestral history. They will travel from Ireland to the U.S. on their mission, during which they will meet relatives they never knew existed.
Ant & Dec’s DNA Journey was commissioned by Siobhan Greene, ITV’s former head of entertainment, and Louise Major. The executive producers are Kathleen Larkin and Sanjay Singhal.
