Biography
Kieron Richardson joined the cast of Hollyoaks: In the City in 2006, playing bad boy Ste Hay. He then joined the regular cast for 17 episodes before being written out of the show when Ste was sent to prison for joyriding.
Ste returned to the show in late 2007, and Kieron has been a regular cast member ever since. After being given a domestic violence storyline where Ste beat up his girlfriend Anna, Kieron got involved with domestic abuse charity Women’s Aid. Him and Ashley Slanina-Davies fronted a campaign called ‘Expect Respect’. Later, when his character came out as gay, Kieron was prompted to come out himself.
When he came out on This Morning in September 2010, he said that he was inspired by X Factor winner Joe McElderry. Earlier on that year, he had appeared in Dancing On Ice, and reached the final, coming third place behind Emmerdale actress Hayley Tamaddon and The Bill’s Gary Lucy.
