Overview

• Newly appointed vicar Father Jordan introduced himself on the church account and invited people to Mass in Romford.
• The video drew thousands of comments focused on his looks, with comparisons to Fleabag’s “hot priest” and celebrities such as Scott Disick.
• Father Jordan posted a lighthearted follow-up noting he had read the comments and joking about “pulling” his collar and “handsome stairs.”
• Coverage notes he is married with two children, reflecting norms for Church of England clergy.
• Media now weighs whether such virality can bring younger people to services or risks trivializing clergy, with claims of attendance bumps limited and not widely corroborated.
