The show follows the brothers as they travel around India with their father to learn about their family history.

Scott – who starred on Love Island – said: ‘I’ve always been in the shadows I just wanted my moment!

‘Honestly we’ve been approached a few times to do a show, we wanted to do something with a bit of substance rather than at home with the Thomas’. 

Ryan added: ‘Everyone asked us did we get on on this trip, and for once this were wasn’t any arguments.

‘When you go away with someone for so long there’s always a disagreement. It was such a family bonding time, we didn’t have time to argue.’

Yet Adam was quick to chip in: We’ve not stopped arguing since though!’
