The singer, 33, will delve into the fascinating history of her long-forgotten relative– a First World War hero who fought and survived in one of the key battles of the conflict.
At the same time, she will reportedly take a DNA test to find out whether she has South American roots, and also discover that she is connected to another character who has regularly appeared in the media over recent years.
Producers approached the former Girls Aloud star after she revealed an interest in the family history show, during an interview last year, according to The Mirror.
Executive Producer Colette Flight said of the upcoming series: “Who Do You Think You Are? is back with another brilliant line-up of much-loved stars, uncovering hidden history by bringing their ancestors to life.

“As we follow our celebrities on their personal journey into their family tress, an extraordinary range of incredible stories are revealed, sometimes tragic, sometimes funny, but always compelling.”
BBC specialist factual boss Tom McDonald added: “This year’s series spans centuries of history and crosses continents to unearth extraordinary genealogical revelations for some of the UK’s most beloved actors, performers and presenters.”
Amongst the other stars taking part in the new series are Amanda Holden, Warwick Davis, Sir Ian McKellen, Greg Davies, Sophie Raworth and Danny Dyer – and we can’t wait to tune in later this year!
