BBC One - Who Do You Think You Are?, Series 8, Tracey Emin

Controversial artist Tracey Emin sets out to find out more about her East End roots.

Celebrity genealogy series. Controversial artist Tracey Emin sets out to learn about her East End roots, and is shocked and delighted to discover an unusual heritage.

For over two decades, Tracey Emin's art has shocked the world. Her work explores love, loss and sexuality and draws deeply on her past. Tracey knows she will not have children of her own, so wants to look back and explore her lineage. 

Tracey knows very little of her maternal line, and is keen to find out more about her East End roots. She discovers that her great-grandfather, Henry Hodgkins, had a tough, deprived upbringing which led him first to reform school and then to prison and the horrors of hard labour. 

Delving back further, Tracey is shocked and delighted to discover an unconventional heritage which takes her away from the East End - one that she would never have imagined but which makes perfect sense.
