The Last Leg funnyman also discovers later today that he is descended from Edward I and his ten times great-grandfather Henry Rich was the first Earl of Holland.
He was a trusted adviser to King Charles I and had to accompany him to the toilet at all times.
And Professor Tracy Borman explained that it was a very important job in those days.
She said: “It’s the most sought-after role in the King’s court. In those days it’s all about getting ahead as well as getting to be with the King.”
Speaking about his experience on the hit show, Josh confessed: “To say it’s exceeded my expectations is the understatement of a lifetime.
"I was just expecting a couple of farmers. It’s proper blue blood, isn’t it?”
