24-year-old Harry Clark shot to fame on BBC One's hit reality show The Traitors. He won the second series last year bagging £95,000 which he says he used to pay off family debt and make a small investment - nothing too flash.

Despite the high profile treachery and deceit it took to win, what many people might not know is that Clark's Christian faith is the thing that keeps him grounded.

Clark was born in Nottinghamshire into an Irish Roman Catholic family, now living in Slough. He describes his confirmation as a pivotal moment that caused him to question and accept his faith as something he wanted to know more about and not just continuation of his upbringing.

At 16 he joined the army as a helicopter engineer but took the plunge to join a TV show he knew little about but hasn't looked back. His new book Staying Faithful is published by SPCK and charts his life and faith.

In this episode of The Profile he talks to Premier Christianity Editor Sam Hailes about his childhood, what his faith means to him and his experiences in the media appearing on shows such as Pilgrimage and Celebrity SAS.
