Brian Dowling, the winner of the UK's second series of Big Brother is to star in his own reality TV show, Mr Damian can reveal.

Dowling, the former Ryanair trolley dolly, who since leaving the Big Brother house has enjoyed a successful TV career, is said to be 'very excited' at the programme.

Dowling recently hosted several series of SMTV

Father Dowling Investigates will see young Brian go under cover as a Catholic Priest, seeking to solve murders and other assorted crimes in the process.

The show, which will feature real victims and real crimes, is part of the Summer line up for Cable TV channel Bravo and is their most expensive new production yet.

'We knew from the outset that Brian would be perfect for this,' a spokesman for the channel told us, 'he's naturally inquisitive, and openly gay so nobody would question whether he was a Catholic priest or not.'

The show is also an ironic nod to the TV Show 'Father Dowling Mysteries' starring Tom Bosley and Tracy Nelson as a crime solving priest and nun.

The series starts on Bravo TV on 22nd June at 9pm.
