Les Dennis, who played Michael Rodwell in Coronation Street, will be joining other well known personalities on a pilgrimage to Rome.
They have only 15 days to tackle 1,000km, so start their pilgrimage in the Alps, just before the Swiss-Italian border. But will this journey of a lifetime change the way they think about themselves and their beliefs?
Actors Les Dennis and Lesley Joseph, professional dancer Brendan Cole, comedians Stephen K Amos and Katy Brand, Olympic long jump champion Greg Rutherford, Irish Eurovision Song Contest winner Dana and television presenter Mehreen Baig live as modern-day pilgrims. They stay in basic hostels, sleep in shared dorms and follow a largely untrodden route, which is currently in the throes of revival. With just over two weeks to complete their pilgrimage, the eight pilgrims walk sections of the Via and travel some of the route by minibus. When they reach the final 100km, they have to walk every step of the way.
The show is on BBC2 tonight at 9pm.
