Guess who has Bajan roots.
Hollywood actress Gwyneth Paltrow traced her roots back to her great great grandmother who was born in Barbados.
Paltrow jetted into the island in a quest to uncover her family history for an episode of NBC’s hit TV series ‘Who Do You Think You Are?’ airing tonight on NBC at 8.
Cameras follow the Hollywood star on her emotional journey to trace her relatives. During her visit Paltrow soaked up the Caribbean sun with her two children last month during a break from filming a US documentary to trace her ancestors.
The Oscar winning actress, 38, appeared carefree in a series of skimpy bikinis on the white sands of Barbados, playing around with daughter Apple, six, and four-year-old son Moses. 
During the trip, Paltrow was spotted strolling around Bridgetown, taking time to chat and have her picture taken with delighted locals. (PR)
