A TEENAGER from Teesside is to speak about his faith on national television.
Michael Hughes, 19, of Stockton, will take part in the BBC2 Exploring Faith programme next year.
He is studying theology at Durham University and will join a multi-faith group of eight young people in a discussion for the programme.
Michael, from Elmtree, has become a Roman Catholic.
Sophie McCoy, assistant producer of the programme, said: "The hour-long programme is aimed at 14 to 16-year-olds and when it is goes on air, it will cover a range of issues. The discussion is part of it."
