Harry Clark says Rome documentary made him ‘want to be a better person’

The Traitors series two winner Harry Clark has said his new documentary Harry Clark Goes To Rome made him “want to be a better person”.

The hour-long one-off BBC programme involves the 25-year-old visiting the Italian capital and Vatican City in a bid to reconnect with his Catholic faith and meet Pope Leo XIV – he is unsuccessful in meeting the pope, but does meet Cardinal Roche, a member of the conclave responsible for appointing Leo.

Clark told the Press Association: “I’ve been to church every Sunday since I’ve been back from Rome, and it sort of just made me want to be a better person.

“I’ve always said I just try and be a nice person, that’s all I try and do in my life, but it’s made me want to be even more of a better person and sort of help people more.

“Whether that’s through religion and for the youth of today, who are scared or worried to think they’re going to get bullied because they say they believe in god, or even just people in general, just helping people.

“Because I think if that’s what we all try to do, then the world would be a much better place.”

Clark went on to say that as a child he was not interested in religion, but said that had changed following his trip.

He added: “My faith has deepened massively, I mean, I was always a kid who said I’m never going to go to church, but now I want to wake up to go to church, just because it gives me that sense of calmness, and it sort of connects me back to me being in Rome, it’s like I have that weird connection.”

On The Traitors in 2024, traitor Clark scooped the £95,150 prize pot after deceiving his faithful friend Mollie Pearce.

Harry Clark Goes To Rome airs on Thursday April 2 at 10.40pm on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
