BIG Brother star Glyn Wise has swapped reality TV for the church.
The 34-year-old is now well on the way to being a priest after being accepted to train for ordained ministry.
Glyn, who was just a teenager when he appeared on the show in 2006, has been gaining experience as a Pastoral Assistant at a church in Camden, but is now ready for the next step.
Sharing a picture of himself at the pulpit, Glyn told his followers: “I’ve done it! I’ve been accepted to train for Ordained ministry with the @churchinwales. I’d like to thank the @thechurchofengland for all it’s support at Camden – St Michaels!
“I’ve really enjoyed giving sermons & bringing the good word to people.
“In 2 years time I’ll be Father Glyn – my life will be like a sketch show out of #VicarofDibley & #FatherTed but I’m looking forward to it! So happy!”
