Olly Murs discovers devastating family secret about his grandfather's parentage as he looks into his Baltic heritage on Who Do You Think You Are?


The singer, 40, features on the new series of the BBC show in a bid to look back at his Latvian ancestry.

'One of the biggest things my dad asked of me was that he wanted to know where she was buried, so that was a really special moment for me, to give him some answers,' Olly said while choking up. The Essex star rose to fame as a finalist on the 2009 edition of the ITV competition series (pictured with Stacey Solomon and eventual winner Joe McElderry) Olly did not give any indication of whether he and his brother will ever be on speaking terms again but did share that his life goal is now to be the best husband and father he can be.
