Harry Clark, best known as the winner of the hit series The Traitors, is taking his career in an unexpected direction. He is set to star in a one-off BBC documentary that delves into faith and spirituality, with a special focus on the newly appointed Pope Leo XIV.
The documentary will follow Harry as he travels to Rome, the heart of the Catholic Church, seeking to explore the challenges of maintaining belief in today’s fast-paced world. Raised in a close-knit family in a council house in Slough, Harry’s faith has been a cornerstone throughout his life. However, modern distractions such as nightlife, media, and shifting social dynamics have increasingly conflicted with the religious traditions passed down by his mother and grandparents.
A BBC spokesperson explained, “Harry’s journey is a heartfelt exploration of whether faith can survive the demands of modern life. His hope is that the Vatican and a possible meeting with the Pope himself will offer meaningful answers.”

Harry expressed his enthusiasm for the project, saying, “This is truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. I’m thrilled to share every step of this incredible journey and hopeful that it will lead to meeting Pope Leo XIV.”
Daisy Scalchi, BBC’s Head of Religion and Ethics for Television, praised Harry’s role in the documentary: “Harry offers a fresh, humorous, and deeply personal perspective on faith. Viewers can expect both heartfelt moments and surprising revelations.”
The hour-long special is set to air on BBC Two during Easter. Harry’s connection to religious storytelling is not new; he previously appeared on BBC’s Pilgrimage series, where he described his faith as a source of strength during difficult times. He shared, “It was more of an emotional journey for me than a physical one. Growing up in a religious family and church, my faith saved me during a lost period while serving in the British Army at age 21.”
This new documentary promises to capture Harry’s sincere quest for understanding faith in the modern world, making for compelling viewing this Easter.
