Reality vs. Scripted

A New Chapter and Acting Ambitions
Since finishing filming his series, Kieran has started a new job as a Senior Solutions Consultant and is attending acting classes at Ashley Walters' Kingdom Drama School in London. He dreams of breaking into the industry and would love the opportunity to go into EastEnders. Kieran acknowledges that he may have to choose between reality TV and acting but is determined to try his best to make his acting ambitions a reality.
Advocating for Mental Health

Kieran encourages those struggling with mental health to seek help and emphasizes the importance of confiding in others, even if they are strangers.
