GOGGLEBOX star Rev Kate Bottley took centre stage once again as she dropped into Crewe for a high school awards night.

Rev Bottley is one of the stars of the hit reality TV show, which features couples, families and friends from around Britain sitting in their living rooms watching weekly British television shows.

She made a guest appearance at St Thomas More Catholic High School’s annual awards evening, which took place at The Lyceum Theatre, Crewe on Thursday, November 26.

The awards recognised the hard work and achievements of pupils at the Crewe school throughout the year.

Clare Hogg, acting head teacher at St Thomas More, said: “The pupils, staff and parents had a wonderful evening celebrating the successes of our pupils as well as making the most of many ‘selfie’ photo opportunities with Kate.

“I had the pleasure of spending four very happy years at Trinity and All Saints College in Leeds with Kate as we both trained as RE teachers and we are very grateful to her for coming and supporting our awards night.”

Rev Bottley is a vicar for Blyth, Scrooby and Ranskill churches in north Nottinghamshire where she lives with her husband, two children and Buster the dog.

She revealed that she decided to be on Gogglebox to show Christians as ordinary people who can enjoy life while still walking alongside with Jesus.

She also spoke about her Christian ministry and how important it is to make the church accessible to all.

Later in the evening the school’s chairman of governors, Father Jerome Fagan, spoke about the achievements of the pupils and the hard work and dedication of all the staff.

He proudly awarded the ‘Faith in Action’ award to Emma Mayers.

Lee Smith, vice principal of South Cheshire College, presented Olivia Nambiaparambil with a new laptop for her achievements and success at St. Thomas More over the last five years.

Clare Hogg said: “We are very blessed at St. Thomas More to have so many talented and gifted pupils.

“This was evident during the evening which featured performances from our school production ‘Too much beauty sleep can make you ugly’ and showcased artwork displayed around the theatre.”
