Strictly, BGT and Traitors stars sign up for new reality show alongside Jeff Brazier and Coronation Street icon
STARS from Strictly Come Dancing, Britain’s Got Talent and Coronation Street have signed up for the new series of a BBC Two show.
The last series saw the likes of Spencer Matthews, Christine McGuinness and Michaela Strachan take part.
Now BBC Two’s Pilgrimage is returning with a brand-new line-up of famous faces, The Sun can reveal.
Presenter Jeff Brazier will be joined by The Traitors winner Harry Clarke, Strictly champ and The Wanted singer Jay McGuinness and Corrie star Helen Lederer.
Also taking part this time around are Paralympian and Dancing On Ice star Stef Reid and BGT comic Daliso Chaponda.
Pilgrimage follows the celebrities as they come together for an interfaith trek.
The most recent series, which aired earlier this year, saw the group take on the North Wales Pilgrim’s Way, a long-distance walking route measuring more than 133 miles.
Viewers previously saw mum-of-three Christine, 36, break down during emotional scenes as she discussed dying and leaving her children behind.
She said: “I just don’t know what I’d do without my kids. I don’t know what I’d do without my babies.
“I just wanted to come back and look at the church again and really appreciate it because I don’t enjoy the feeling of death. As a mum, it absolutely petrifies me.
“My biggest fear is leaving my children one day. My children are considered different because they’re all autistic, and so am I and I have often had comments like, ‘I bet you wish there was a cure or something to fix your children’, and I really don’t.
“I think every single child is a miracle. It just makes me want to be around forever because they’re so magical.”
And Michaela, 58 – who was recently announced as one of the stars taking part in the upcoming series of Dancing On Ice – later revealed why she wasn’t worried about signing up for Pilgrimage.
She told The Sun: “I knew going into Pilgrimage that there was no way they want to edit you in a nasty way.
“It’s supposed to be a nice programme that goes out over Easter that makes people feel good rather than sort of promotes people being b****y. So that I wasn’t worried about.
“I knew that it would be edited in a fairly sympathetic way. But I would always worry about going on something like, I’m a celebrity, Get Me Out of Here! Because I think sometimes the script is written before you come in.”
