GOGGLEBOX star Reverend Kate Bottley has proven just as popular on Songs of Praise as she was on the sofa.
Viewers of the BBC One early evening show have praised the star after she went on a charity trip to Lapland with some seriously ill children.
Her trip to Lapland with the children was particularly heart-warming and fans praised her presenting skills.
wasn’t alone on the annual trip to Lapland however and introduced some of the people who help make it possible each year.
She said: “On our trip, many of the children need constant medical attention and Michael is one paramedic’s who’s volunteered to help…”
One of the children she met on the trip was a young girl called Molly who was battling Leukaemia.
She was just one of the group who'd been taken on the magical trip to meet Santa Claus at his home.
Later in the show, Kate visited a Christmas tree festival at a church in Devon which boasted 75 trees.
Her jolly manner pleased fans and some asked for her to become a more regular fixture.
One fan wrote: “Pls pls keep @revkatebottley she is a breath of fresh air makes God alive.”
Kate took a break from Gogglebox to help focus on her daughter’s GCSEs last month.
Responding to a Twitter user who asked why she’d not been seen recently, Kate replied: “Hi, our daughter has her GCSES so we needed a break from the cameras.”
The star appears alongside her husband Graham, who teaches violin to primary school children, and has become well liked on the show.
It’s hoped Kate and Graham will return to the show in the New Year.
