Eddie appeared on BBC series Who Do You Think You Are? in 2019 alongside his former Towie star grandson. Mark previously said doing the show was motivated by his granddad. He said: "I've wanted to find out our family history forever, as my Grandad has always guessed where we're from. But nobody’s ever known.

"He was told my family of his that we were Italian and to be able to give this back to him is great. He's done so much for us, he's our king. "It's hard to repay him but this was that moment before it's too late.". Last week, Mark and Michelle announced their happy news on social media.
