Big Brother contestant Glyn Wise is set to become an ordained minister. The 34-year-old is preparing to become Father Glyn after being accepted to train for the ordained ministry with the Church in Wales.
The former lifeguard was one of the programme's youngest contestants when he walked through the doors of the house in 2006, and ended up coming second.
The former head boy from Ysgol Dyffryn Conwy in Llanrwst got his A-level results in the final week of filming. He got an A for art and design but only E grades in Welsh and English because he missed the exams to be on Big Brother.

After the show, he worked in the media, went to college, worked as a teacher in Gwynedd and even stood for Plaid in Cardiff Central at National Assembly election s, but quit the party after disagreeing with its pro- EU stance.
Currently living in London, he announced his next career move on social media saying: "Done it! I’m been accepted for Ordained Ministry with the Church in Wales. Thank you to everyone at London Church of England for their support & prayers! Looking forward to spread the good word & become Fr Glyn."
He said he has been a Christian since going to Sunday school as a child and attending the Christian Union at university, and said that living in China for a time had a big impact. See how his amazing transformation shocked Davina here.
"When I was in Asia, particularly South Korea, I saw that Christianity was growing at a massive scale and whilst I was there I went to church and felt every sermon was basically speaking directly to me," he told BBC Wales.
"I wanted to bring the good word back to the UK, well Wales and the Church in Wales, and now I've been fortunate enough to be accepted to go into the ordained ministry - it was a dream come true."
He added he always had a bucket list of things he wanted to accomplish and always wanted to do something with Christianity and grow his faith.
"I've always helped out in church, done readings and done volunteer works, but I thought now is the time.
"Jesus Christ was 33 when he got crucified, and we're the same age so let's go for it," he said.
Glyn wowed Big Brother fans during his return to television on Big Brother's Best Shows Ever anniversary special in 2020.
Davina flirtatiously tweeted Glyn had a "glow up" following his appearance on the show more than a decade ago.
During his time there, the former lifeguard from Gwynedd learnt to cook an egg for the first time, spoke in Welsh to housemate Imogen Thomas, accidentally dyed his hair ginger…and then went on to bag second place.
