PILGRIMAGE star Scarlett Moffat stood up for herself after she was “a little confused” one of her co-stars.
The 31-year-old former Gogglebox star chatted with TV presenter Nick Hower as the couple went out to get supplies as other celebrities continued their hike.
For two weeks, seven pilgrims follow in the footsteps of sixth-century Irish friar Saint Columba.
Scarlett and Nick explored religious beliefs, and reality explained how
Scarlett identifies as a Christian, which is one of the largest religions in the world based on the life and teachings of Jesus of Nazareth.
Nick asked her, “When did you get your religious error?”
She told how she started becoming religious about six years ago, “when nice things started happening to me” and realized that “it had to be someone bigger than us for this to happen.”
Nick told her that he was raised by Jesuits, whom he called the “stormtroopers of the north”, and this is what made him “slightly irreligious”.
They then discussed whether religion should be “black and white” when Nick made a snide comment about how she would feel about religion if things went wrong.
“Her Influencers [followers] dry, and you look at your numbers, and you have only three of them, what to do? he inquired.
Scarlett said without hesitation, “Honestly, Jesus only had 12, so I don’t mind.”
The audience was pleased that Scarlett responded with applause to the comments.
One viewer tweeted, “Jesus only had 12 followers,” said Scarlett well, a good response to Nick, who I felt was trying to confuse you a bit.
TV presenter Nick is an agnostic who grew up in a Catholic family.
An agonist is a person who believes that nothing is or cannot be known about the existence or nature of God.
This is different from the term atheist, which can be used to describe a person who does not believe in the existence of God or gods.
Nick stepped down as host of Countdown in 2020.
Prior to participating in the quiz show, he was Lord Alan Sugar’s regular assistant on The Apprentice.
Along with Nika, Scarlett was also joined by cricketer Monty Panesar, designer Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen, Paralympic champion Will John Bailey, Emmerdale actress Louise Klein and comedian Shazia Mirza.
