Kate Bottley - a curator of faith

Rev Kate Bottley spoke with Catherine Larner about getting older, being on TV, writing a book, and the freedom of wearing a dog collar 

Still known as the Gogglebox vicar even though she left the reality TV show in 2016, Rev Kate Bottley is now an established and much-loved broadcaster. She presents Songs of Praise, hosts BBC Radio Two’s Sunday Hour and is a guest on a huge variety of TV panel shows. She no longer runs her own parish but acts as a supply vicar, and she’s just had her first book published, called Have a Little Faith: Life lessons on love, death and how lasagne always helps (Penguin Faith).
