TV and radio presenter Brian Dowling talks broadcasting, babies and being unapologetically himself in the October issue of RSVP Magazine
Brian Dowling rose to fame as the winner of the second series of Big Brother in 2001. Following his victory, he enjoyed a successful TV career in the UK and Stateside. But for Brian, home is where the heart is – and moving back to Ireland with husband Arthur Gourounlian in 2020 changed the trajectory of his life once more.
Arthur recently revealed on social media that a meeting with a priest over Blu’s christening left his “blood boiling”. Can you tell us what happened? I think religion can be such a controversial topic, but I also think it’s a very personal thing to someone. I was born in the 70s and I grew up in the 80s going to church every week. My mum grew up in the 50s, but she never really shoved religion down our throats as children and I’m really appreciative of that. I can only talk about my experiences but if you’re a kind, thoughtful person who lets others live their lives, I think you’re a good person regardless of what religion you practise.
