Celebrity Traitors star Jerry Hall claims her Texas Ranger uncle captured Bonnie and Clyde in the 1930s

She's already been chosen to become a Faithful, and Jerry Hall has now claimed that even her ancestors had a knack for hunting down villains.The Celebrity Traitors star, 70, has claimed that her uncle was one of the six men who famously captured the American outlaws Bonnie and Clyde in the 1930s.Jerry made the admission during the opening episode of the hit BBC show, as the stars met each other for the first time.Bonnie and Clyde famously roamed the United States with their gang during the Great Depression between 1932 and 1934 indulging in a spree of criminal acts including kidnapping, bank robberies and even murder.The pair were eventually ambushed and killed by a law enforcement team led by retired Texas Ranger Frank Hamer.On the show, Jerry proudly reveals: 'My relations were all law enforcement officers. The Celebrity Traitors star Jerry Hall has claimed her uncle was one of the Texas rangers who famously captured the American outlaws Bonnie and Clyde in the 1930s'My uncle was a Texan Ranger - he caught Bonnie and Clyde. So beneath this dumb blonde is a smart brunette.'The six men who were responsible for Bonnie and Clyde's capture were Texas Ranger Captain Frank Hamer, Texas Ranger Maney Gault, Dallas County Deputy Bob Alcorn, Dallas County Deputy Ted Hinton, Bienville Parish Sheriff Henderson Jordan and Bienville Parish Deputy Prentiss Oakley. Only two of Jerry's uncles are known publicly - Walter Zane Sheffield and Gerald W. Hall, although there is a possibility she had more on her maternal and paternal sides, who were not named.Jerry was born and raised in Texas, where Bonnie and Clyde ran their crime spree. While there is no way to directly link Jerry to the capturing posse, she and her sister Cyndy, made a cameo in the 1980 movie Urban Cowboy, which featured southern culture associated with the area.Despite doubts over the legitimacy of Jerry's claims, BBC bosses have confirmed that they have fact-checked her story and it is true.Speaking at a pre-series Q&A last month, executive producer Sarah Fay confirmed: 'Apparently, his guns are in a museum in America for the Texas Rangers. He was one of a group of Texas Rangers who caught them, apparently.'We did fact-check that with Jerry after the show, and she did confirm.' Bonnie and Clyde famously roamed the United States with their gang during the Great Depression between 1932 and 1934 before being ambushed and killedJerry is one of 21 stars appearing in Celebrity Traitors' new series, and the star recently admitted that her four children, and even her ex Mick Jagger, expressed concerns about her taking part in the show.She said: 'I did tell my four children, and I told Mick that if any of the children had a problem, they were to call him because I was busy.'They worry. They're like, ''You think you're younger than you are. You and Dad are always doing things that you did in your twenties that maybe you shouldn't be doing now.'''After both expressing an interest in exploring their murderous potential, it was Maya Jama, 32, and Richard E Grant, 69, who took to the turret. A giggling Maya said to the camera: 'Goodness. I don't even know what to say! I'm so excited. I wanted to bring a different side of me out, and here she is. My villain era has begun.'Richard added: 'Yes! Absolutely thrilled, and I can't wait to start murdering. I cannot wait!'Just minutes after being picked and promising to keep his identity a secret – Richard made the biggest slip-up in Celebrity Traitors history.As Richard mingled with Faithful Joe Lycett in the lounge area, the comedian jumped straight in with the question: 'What are you?''A Traitor,' Richard responded with a huge grin on his face. Unsure what to believe, Joe said: 'I think you've just done something that has never happened in the game... bold strategy.'Talking tactics later in the turret with Maya, she warned him: 'You're in deep trouble,' before joking: 'He's like my unhinged uncle running around the castle.' Many fans have suggested on social media that Richard's slip-up was in fact carefully curated to call the comedian's bluff.
