Television personalities Rylan Clark and Rob Rinder are trading their usual studio settings for an extraordinary spiritual journey, having been confirmed as participants in the BBC's acclaimed Pilgrimage documentary series.
The duo will join a group of well-known figures embarking on a deeply personal expedition from the British Isles to the sacred city of Jerusalem. This latest instalment, Pilgrimage: The Road to Jerusalem, promises to be the most ambitious and emotionally charged season yet.
A Journey of Faith and Reflection
Following the format that has captivated audiences for three seasons, the show brings together a diverse group of celebrities with varying religious beliefs—from devout faith to complete scepticism. Their mission is to traverse one of the world's most ancient and significant pilgrimage routes, a path steeped in millennia of history and spiritual significance.
This journey is far from a leisurely holiday; it is a physically demanding and emotionally taxing experience designed to challenge the participants' preconceptions and foster profound introspection.
From Westminster to the Holy Land
Rob Rinder, the celebrated criminal barrister and television judge, brings his sharp legal mind and Jewish heritage to the journey. Rylan Clark, the beloved presenter and entertainer, offers his trademark humour and vulnerability. Their dynamic is expected to be a central focus of the series, providing both light-hearted moments and deep, meaningful conversation.
They will be joined by other yet-to-be-announced celebrities, creating a melting pot of perspectives as they navigate the trials and tribulations of the long road to Jerusalem.
When to Watch
Filming for this epic pilgrimage is set to commence shortly. While the BBC has yet to announce an official premiere date, the series is expected to land on BBC Two and BBC iPlayer later in the year, offering viewers a front-row seat to this remarkable adventure of faith, friendship, and self-discovery.
