Who DO you think you are Jamie..?
STAR IS TOO BORING
JAMIE Theakston signed up for Who Do You Think You Are? but got dropped for being dull.
Bosses on the BBC ancestry show said there was “nothing interesting” in the radio presenter’s past.
And a source said: “Poor Jamie was gutted.”
Producers of the hit series asked the former Top Of The Pops and Live & Kicking star if he would let them dig into his family tree.
They were hoping to find some surprising or interesting link to some historical figure.
Jamie, who was born in Cuckfield, West Sussex, on December 21, 1970, has made some shocking headlines in the past. He was forced to apologise to family and friends in 2002 after he was caught romping with prostitutes in a bondage dungeon in London’s Mayfair.
But after having a dig around Jamie’s background, bosses decided not to go any further.
A source said: “Sadly there wasn’t anything very interesting that would make an hour-long show.”
The genealogists have found gems in previous shows, such as discovering Danny Dyer was related to King Edward III, Boy George had family links to the IRA and Marvin Humes had relatives who had not only been slaves but owned them. A show spokesman declined to comment.
JAMIE Theakston’s family history is so boring that BBC researchers couldn’t find anything of interest.
Who’d have thought the TV star’s antics would be the most interesting thing anyone in his family has ever done?
