Falling flat on his faith! Vicar shows off ice skating skills on rink built inside his church... which ends with predictable results
- Father Stuart Cradduck is the rector of St Wulfram's Church in Grantham
- An ice rink has been installed inside the church especially for Christmas
- As part of a video interview rector skated inside church to show off rink
- But he lost his balance straight away and was filmed slipping and falling
This is the unfortunate moment a vicar attempted to show off the ice rink inside his church - only to lose his balance and fall head over heels.
Father Stuart Cradduck is the rector of St Wulfram's Church in Grantham, Lincolnshire, and sportingly donned a pair of ice skates for a video interview.
BBC Radio Lincolnshire filmed Father Stuart introducing himself before turning around to skate on the ice rink, which has been installed inside the church especially for Christmas.

Oh dear: As soon as the rector puts his left foot forward he loses his balance and begins to stumble
However as soon as he puts his left foot forward - in a very enthusiastic way it has to be said - he loses his balance and begins to stumble.
He then reaches out with his hands in anticipation of falling before crashing to the ground and rolling over onto his back.
The cameraman immediately begins laughing as Father Stuart says: 'So that's £250 for that, I get,' in reference to funny video programme You've Been Framed.
The rector then slowly gets back to his feet, prompting the cameraman to show some concern and ask whether everything is alright.
The video concludes with Father Stuart standing up and confirming that he is fine.

Since appearing on Facebook the clip has been viewed more than 20,000 times and a number of people have commented on the footage.
One person wrote: 'Good for him. At least Father Stuart had a smile on his face.'
While another asked: 'Are his sermons better than his skating?'
St Wulfram's is currently holding its first ever Christmas Tree Festival, which will run until November 29. The ice rink has been installed inside the church for the occasion, for visitors to enjoy.
