Seven celebrities are setting off on a journey of discovery for BBC Two\u2019s Pilgrimage: The Road to the Scottish Isles<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Kicking off on BBC Two from Friday 8th April, the new series will see the Pilgrimage cast<\/a>, which includes reality TV star Scarlett Moffatt, presenter Nick Hewer, actress Louisa Clein and more following the footsteps of Saint Columba (a crucial figure in early British Christianity) as they embark on spiritual journey of their own.<\/p>\n

And it sounds like it was a tough journey for the line-up, with Clein revealing they went through some \u201cextreme experiences\u201d.<\/p>\n

Speaking ahead of the launch, the Emmerdale star said: \u201cYou get thrown together with a bunch of personalities, a bunch of people you\u2019ve never met and you\u2019re going through extreme experiences together. We have some extreme experiences. And so to adapt and co-exist with these other people, that was a real learning curve for me.\u201d<\/p>\n

She continued: \u201cWe spent a night sleeping on the floor of a church. We spent a very memorable night in a bothy. I didn\u2019t even know what a bothy was before this, but it\u2019s a building that essentially is four walls and has a roof with no electricity, no water. Really nothing \u2013 no heating obviously. And I just remember sort of walking in and seeing this sort of concrete floor.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were carrying our sleeping bags and it was like, \u2018OK, this is our night tonight\u2019. It was in the most unbelievable surroundings. We were sort of cornered by huge cliffs on one side and just the ocean and seals as our company, so that that was extreme.\u201d<\/p>

Like Clein, comedian and writer Shazia Mirza also found the experience gruelling, saying: \u201cThere was a lot of extremities on this journey and\u00a0 not just the weather conditions.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think that those extreme moments are the moments that you learn something, and that you\u2019re pushed to the edge. And actually, that\u2019s the point of evolution for yourself.\u201d<\/p>\n

For Hewer, he found the physical side of things particularly difficult.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe most physically trying thing was clambering up to a castle \u2013 my god that was difficult. But generally speaking, the whole thing was a pleasure to be asked to do it and to be able to do it!\u201d<\/p>\n
