The Chase's Anne Hegerty finds out the Queen is her cousin on DNA Journey

The Chase quiz pro, Anne Hegerty, found out that she's related to the Queen in a recent episode of ITV's DNA Journey.

The Governess was joined by co-star Shaun Wallace as she found out she both shares genes, and is a 19th cousin of the monarch.
