Why would chief scout Grylls, a man with a flourishing global career, team up with the “cancelled” Brand – and risk harming his own squeaky-clean brand?

But it still seems like a bizarre choice for Grylls. Unless it’s really a case of two men, both with a raging Messiah complex, recognising a kindred spirit.Instagram video

He concluded that he’d made the decision for himself and his family, noting that his wife – author and illustrator Laura Gallacher – is Catholic: “She’s already made her choices in this life, including this one,” he said, indicating himself.Brand also made a cryptic reference to the “amazing individuals involved” in his baptism, but didn’t, at the time, name names.“Week One as a Christian has been amazing,” chirped Brand in another.

The only downside for the crew was that the pair wore kilts throughout – and, apparently, nothing underneath, as is tradition. “There’s a lot of going up and down rock faces,” observed Grylls. “The crew is still saying that they’re traumatised by seeing the pair of us coming down that final cliff face.”Perhaps it’s less surprising, then, that such a passionate bromance has resulted in Grylls being a part of Brand’s baptism.

Alpha grew from four courses to thousands. The website claims that it operates in more than 100 countries and 100 languages. It also runs courses in more than half of prisons in the UK.
