Read our privacy policy Stephen Mangan has joined an illustrious club of celebrities whose ancestor’s story was apparently “too boring” to fill an episode of Who Do You Think You Are?. The comedian – best known for playing Dr Guillaume Secretan in Green Wing – was reportedly rejected after the BBC series’ production team discovered that his family all hail from the same location. Previous celebrities to have had their stories rejected by the series, which delves into a selected person’s ancestry, include Michael Parkinson, Eamonn Holmes and Cherie Blair.
