The annual Pilgrimage series is returning to BBC Two and iPlayer next month, featuring seven well-known personalities of differing faiths and beliefs on a spiritual trek through the Austrian and Swiss Alps.
Across three one-hour episodes, Pilgrimage: The Road Through the Alps will follow celebrity pilgrims as they take a personal journey along a revived medieval Catholic route, traveling from just outside Innsbruck on the Austrian Camino and finishing near Lake Zurich in Switzerland. Pilgrimage: The Road Through the Alps will be part of the BBC’s forthcoming Faith and Hope Season.
Participants for this year are agnostic Jay McGuiness, singer from boy band The Wanted; actor and comedy legend Helen Lederer, who is from a mixed heritage background with a culturally Jewish father and a Protestant mother; practicing Catholic Harry Clark, winner of The Traitors season two; standup comedian Daliso Chaponda, who grew up in a Christian family but is exploring the Baha’i faith; presenter Jeff Brazier, who went to Catholic schools but now is spiritual and meditates as part of his everyday life; retired Paralympian and practicing Christian Stef Reid and journalist Nelufar Hedayat, who refers to herself as a modern Muslim.
