London - Former Prime Minister Tony Blair has converted to Catholicism, British media reported on Saturday.

Blair converted during a Mass held on Friday night at a chapel in London, Sky News, the British Broadcasting Corporation and the British news agency Press Association reported, quoting an unidentified spokesperson.

There had long been speculation that Blair, a member of the Church of England planned to convert.

His wife, Cherie, is Roman Catholic, the couple's children have attended Catholic schools, and Blair had regularly attended Catholic, rather than Anglican, services.
