The Traitors winner Harry Clark is set to front a major new BBC documentary that will see him travel to the heart of the Catholic Church in a bid to meet the Pope.
The reality TV star has landed a 60-minute BBC Two documentary titled Harry Clark Goes to Rome, which will air at Easter. The programme follows Harry on a deeply personal journey to Rome and Vatican City, where he explores questions around belief, identity and what it truly means to be a “good” Catholic in the modern world.
At the centre of the documentary is an extraordinary meeting with the newly appointed Pope Leo XIV, one of the most powerful and influential religious leaders globally. For Harry, who has spoken openly about his faith since rising to fame, the encounter represents the fulfilment of a long-held ambition.
Harry first shot to national attention after winning the second series of The Traitors on BBC One. The psychological reality competition, hosted by Claudia Winkleman, became a ratings phenomenon in the UK and Ireland, with Harry ultimately emerging victorious after successfully navigating the show’s intense deception-based format. As one of the youngest contestants, he stood out for his strategic gameplay, composure under pressure and ability to maintain trust among fellow players.

Away from television, Harry previously served in the British Army, a background that shaped much of his disciplined approach on the show and his public persona. Since winning The Traitors, he has built a growing media profile, appearing on chat shows and speaking candidly about how his Catholic upbringing influenced his values and decision-making.
In Harry Clark Goes to Rome, viewers will see a different side to the reality star. The documentary promises intimate conversations not only with the Pope but also with Harry’s girlfriend, Anna Maynard, as well as his friends and family. The programme explores how faith fits into his life following sudden fame, and whether the competitive tactics that won him a reality show align with traditional Catholic teachings on honesty, morality and forgiveness.
The setting of Rome and Vatican City provides a powerful backdrop. As the spiritual and administrative centre of the Catholic Church, Vatican City attracts millions of pilgrims each year. For a young, modern British Catholic navigating public life, the opportunity to speak directly with the Pope offers a rare and symbolic moment.
The BBC has increasingly invested in personality-led documentaries that combine travel with personal reflection, particularly around major religious moments such as Easter. Harry’s story — blending reality TV fame, military service and faith — positions him as an unconventional but compelling guide for audiences.
With Easter broadcast timing and an unprecedented papal audience at its core, Harry Clark Goes to Rome marks a significant step in Harry’s post-Traitors career — shifting him from game-show strategist to documentary frontman on a spiritual quest.
