The series follows Stacey as she helps to answer people's burning questions about their family, health or ancestry with a visit to a DNA testing clinic.

Working with one of the UK's leading geneticists, Professor Turi King, as well as top genealogists, social workers and doctors, they'll use the advances in DNA technology to help reveal lost heritage, track down missing relatives and detect debilitating diseases before it's too late.

DNA testing in the UK is becoming increasingly popular, with over 26 million of us in the UK having taken a DNA test in the past decade.

This growing popularity in genetic testing has created a network of databases that can answer questions previously impossible to know about our families, ancestry and health.

Speaking in the trailer, Stacey says: "Everyone deserves to know where they really come from.
