Big Zuu Goes To Mecca 

Double BAFTA-winning TV chef and rapper Big Zuu visits Mecca, the holiest city in Islam, where he performs the pilgrimage of Umrah for the first time. 

Double BAFTA-winning TV chef and rapper Big Zuu visits Mecca, the holiest city in Islam, where he performs the pilgrimage of Umrah for the first time. 

Zuu is best known for his skills in the kitchen and on the mic. With a mum from Sierra Leone and a dad from Lebanon, he’s got Islam in his heritage on both sides of his family. 

But as a young man born and raised in London, sticking to strict interpretations of the rules hasn’t always been easy. Like many in our increasingly diverse communities, Zuu grew up blending the traditions of multiple cultures. And while he may not have been raised praying five times a day, devotion to his faith has always been a huge part of Zuu’s identity. 

He has thought long and hard about making this pilgrimage. At the heart of his mission is a desire to connect more deeply with his faith. But there’s a lot for Zuu to learn before he leaves. 

The programme is screened on Saturday, 14 April.
