Jay McGuiness, a singer and actor, is participating in the BBC show "Pilgrimage: The Road Through The Alps." He expressed that he finds Catholicism "too judgmental" and identifies as agnostic, seeking to learn more about his beliefs during the journey. The show features McGuiness and other celebrities hiking from Austria to Switzerland, sharing experiences in convents and hostels. Other participants include Harry Clark, who has strong faith, and comedian Helen Lederer, who has a mixed religious background. The pilgrimage route includes the Arlberg mountain pass and ends at Einsiedeln Abbey, home to the Black Madonna. The series will air on BBC Two and BBC iPlayer next month.
