Ryan and his fellow TV star siblings have appeared on Coronation Street, Love Island and Im A Celeb but now Ryan, Scott and Adam are trying their hand at culture.
The three brother have joined forces with ITV for a new six-part series exploring their paternal heritage.
And their dad Dougie, who was lead singer of Dougie James And The Soul Train and toured with the Jackson 5, will join them on their trip to India.
A telly insider said: The Thomas brothers have a fascinating family tree and ITV are taking them, and their dad, back to where it all began in India.
Theyre hoping to track down long-lost relatives and Dougie will introduce the boys to places and customs theyve never experienced.
Although the lads arent well known for their cultural know-how, seeing their dad talk them through their roots is a really humbling experience for them.
Ryan, Adam and Scott will kick off the series expected to air next year in Mumbai, Indias largest city, before travelling south to the stunning beaches of Goa.
The insider added: As well as being a cultural journey, the lads will bring their usual humour and banter to the show.
Mumbai is a crazy city and watching them try to adjust to the culture is hilarious. But there are emotional moments, too. This journey really bonds them together as a family unit.
Ryan has been sharing photos and videos on Instagram from India with his brothers.
He recently told fans: “When you hit 1M on the Gram you got do a selfie in Mumbai 
thank you for the love guys secretly buzzing”.
