Gemma Collins made a shocking discovery about her family on the BBC show Who Do You Think You Are, uncovering ties to a notorious serial killer .
Episode 7 of Series 21 saw Gemma Collins delving into her own heritage and the reality queen certainly kept viewers entertained. While she shared that she already knew a lot about her father's side of the family, she confessed that she remained in the dark about her mother Joan's side which resulted in some big revelations.
Reflecting on the discovery, Gemma said: "It was very overwhelming, very, very bizarre, to find out all this stuff we've not known for so long. It's bittersweet and amazing. It's been very cathartic putting my mum's mind at rest about so much stuff that was unanswered for her." Historians on the show discovered that Gemma's great-great-great grandfather, William Williams, resided on Dorset Street in East London with his family - a street notorious for its connection to Jack the Ripper's victims. Ripper victim Annie Chapman lived there prior to her murder 1888 and it was also where the body of Mary Jane Kelly was found two months later.
