UKIP's leader in Wales leader Nathan Gill has described his Mormon faith as very important to him.

The MEP said that as a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, he did not drink alcohol.

He told BBC Wales not drinking can be seen as "quite bizarre" in UKIP, whose leader Nigel Farage was "quite a famous drinker and does like his pint".

Mr Gill was a Mormon bishop with the church in Anglesey for six years and conducted several wedding ceremonies.

Speaking to S4C's Newyddion9 Mr Gill said: "Nigel is quite a famous drinker and does like his pint, but it doesn't exclude me from anything. It makes me see things from a different perspective, I think, and my colleagues definitely respect me for the faith I have."

He also told the the programme that leading UKIP in Wales can seem at times like "herding cats".

Newyddion9 is on S4C at 21:00 GMT on Tuesday 22 March.
