Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen ‘absolutely loves’ religion

OHMYGOSSIP — Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen “absolutely loves” religion.
The 57-year-old TV star took part in BBC Two series ‘Pilgrimage: The Road to the Scottish Isles’ back in April 2022 – which saw seven famous faces seek out the legacy of an Irish monk but joked that when he dies, his version of God would be drag queen RuPaul, who would send him straight to hell.
He said: “I absolutely love religion. think it needs to be about celebrating a god. I’ve always been very interested by the Celtic Church and also the people that created religion. When you look at Chartres Cathedral in France or St Columba’s Cathedral in Oban, I see the people that built it and worshipped in it. I don’t need to see the finger of God at the top of the pyramid. It’s a very personal philosophy. I could die, be welcomed through the Pearly Gates by God – who’s probably RuPaul – saying, ‘No, no, naughty boy! You got all of that wrong!’ Pazam! And I go straight to hell.”
The former ‘Changing Rooms’ star was joined on the three-part series by ‘Emmerdale’ actress Louisa Clein, comedienne Shazia Mirza, Paralympian Will Bayley, former ‘Countdown’ presenter Nick Hewer, and cricketer Monty Panesar as well as ex- ‘Gogglebox’ star Scarlett Moffatt – who he hailed as an “icon” of her generation but noted she was “very concerned” about losing followers by taking part in the programme.
Asked if he knew any of his co-stars, he told Metro Newspaper’s SixtySeconds column: “I met Nick Hewer in a hotel in Lake Como many years ago but I didn’t know any of the others. I was surprised by how deeply felt Scarlett Moffatt’s faith was but then by how fragile she was about talking about it. As an influencer and icon of the 2022s, she was very concerned she’d be losing followers by declaring her religion.”
‘Pilgrimage: The Road to the Scottish Isles’ is available to stream on BBC iPlayer.
