‘Knowing the dark, I decided I needed the light’: Shane Lynch on finding God after ‘witchcraft and occultism’ – Gript

Posted by

Boyzone singer Shane Lynch has opened up on his journey to finding God through his Christian faith after years embroiled in the “dark and horrible” world of occult and witchcraft. 

The Dubliner, 46, has been outspoken about his involvement with clairvoyants and ouija boards in the past, claiming to have been frequently visited by evil spirits who “tortured” his mind as a teenager. 

Lynch became a Christian in 2003, having been persuaded to get baptised by his close friend and bandmate at REDhill, Ben Ofodeu.

Now, the father of two is set to appear on the fifth series of BBC Two’s ‘Pilgrimage’ – the BBC’s highest rating religion title last year. The new series of the show, which will comprise three 60-minute episodes, is set to air tonight, Good Friday, at 9pm.

Lynch is one of seven celebrities of differing faiths and beliefs who will take part in the documentary, which will see them travel along the northern route of the Fatima Way in Portugal to arrive at the Marian Shrine.

He will be joined on the pilgrimage by actress Su Pollard, actress Rita Simmons, influencer and TV personality Vicky Pattison, maths whizz and TV personality Bobby Seagull, Paralympian skier Millie Knight, and comedian Nabil Abdulurashid.
