Kieron with co-actress Hollie

Kieron Richardson who plays bad boy Ste Hay has recently revealed that he is yet to MEET the new boss at Hollyoaks and is SCARED that he might be axed like his fellow co-stars!

Kieron who is currently participating in the ITV reality show, Dancing on Ice, said he didn’t know if his contract will be renewed in November.

He added: “I think everybody’s worried about their jobs because it’s an amazing place to work.

“Nobody wants to leave. But if they do leave I’m sure people will work again.

“My contract isn’t due for renewal yet so I don’t know what’s going on.

“But word on the street is that I’ve got a good storyline coming up.

“Because of Dancing On Ice I haven’t had a chance to meet the new producer yet.

“It sounds like his ideas are all for the good of the show and only to make it bigger and better – and hopefully that will be with me in it.”

Viewers will see Kieron battle it out this weekend in the Dancing on Ice final. He had been the favourite to leave the show last week but managed to survive and make it through to the final.

We’re pretty sure that with Kieron’s huge support he’s received from being on the reality show, coupled with his amazing acting talent, he should just manage to survive the axing block too!

Yummy boy!

The actor – who played bad boy Justin Burton on the Channel 4 show for six years – was petrified when he left the programme last May because he feared being a soap actor would hinder his chances of getting other work.

Speaking about his latest show ‘Five Days’ – which aired this week, but was filmed shortly after he left ‘Hollyoaks – Chris explained to the Liverpool Echo newspaper: “I started shooting for ‘Five Days’ about five weeks after I left so I didn’t really have time to miss ‘Hollyoaks’.

“There was always a risk I was going to be unemployed for ages, so it was nice to start filming straight away.

“It was good for me as an actor because sometimes people do not want to see you if you only worked on a soap.”

The 22-year-old star is currently preparing to start work on the 2010 ‘Dancing On Ice Tour’ – which will tour the country from April until June.

In 2008, Chris came second in the ITV skating series in 2008.

We miss you Chris!!

Jedward LOVE Kieron!

Kieron Richardson has picked up celebrity support in the form of X Factor heros – John and Edward!

Our Kieron (who plays bad boy Ste Hay) is currently battling it out in ITV’s Dancing on Ice and last week he made it into the final 7!

Kieron has been wowing us with his sexy moves on the ice and particularly took our breath away when he donned that pink sequin outfit(!) But it seems we’re not the only fans…

The UK’s most infamous identical twins, Jedward, have pledged their support to Kieron and want him to win!

Kieron posted on his Twitter page; “Just met jedward! And they said they r backing us for dancing on ice and Sharon osbourne loved last weeks routine x”

And our lovely photo above shows how pally they have become.

Jedward genius? Or are they plainly wearing more foundation than Robert Pattinson?

Kieron needed stitches!

The Hollyoaks actor  – who is partnered in the show by professional skater Brianne Delcourt – was taken to hospital after he stumbled while learning a tricky move for his latest routine and split open his lip.

He explained:  “There’s the axel jump which is a very difficult jump to do and they’ve given me two half axels to do, and in training yesterday, during the half axel, I over-rotated it and actually did a full axel, which is really difficult to do, and because I’m not used to doing it I landed teeth first and I cut my mouth open and ended up in hospital. I was only there for about an hour and a half so it wasn’t that bad.

“I’ve had five stitches in the past two weeks! The thing is, me and Brianne have got through six weeks of the show with no injuries whatsoever and everyone’s been harping on about, ‘Oh, I’ve hurt this and oh, I’ve hurt that!’ and now we get it all at once! No more injuries next week…touch wood!”

Despite dismissing his injury as minor, Kieron admits it is causing problems for his bosses on Hollyoaks, as he is still filming his role as Ste Hay while training for ‘Dancing On Ice’.

He explained: “I finished my training yesterday and it’s my first day back in work today. Make-up haven’t seen my elephant man face yet! I’ve already filmed most of my scenes in this episode and there are three scenes today which they’re going to have to slot in and I’m gonna have this fat lip now.”

Allegedly the man above (Jason Gardiner), the Simon Cowell of Dancing on Ice, has been responsible for over 15,000 complaints sent in by viewers to ITV.

Jason has already apologised for his controversial comments on last week’s show, when he compared Sharron Davies to faecal matter.

Viewers have criticised Gardiner over his slurs and called for the judge to be SACKED.

But the judge has also come under fire for scrutinizing OUR KIERON! And rightly so!

The Simon Cowell wannabe said Kieron was too skinny and needed to spend more time in the gym! OMG!

Kieron wrote on this twitter page; “i hate being skinny so iv ate too much i feel sick arghhh… who cares im over it as long as im healthy so wat!”

Was it really sensible for Jason to make these kind of personal comments if it makes someone paranoid about the way they look? We thought we lived in modern times where everyone should be able to feel comfortable in their own skin NO MATTER WHAT they look like.

And for the record, Kieron looks fine!

One of our readers has even started a petition to get Jason to formally apologise for his disgusting remarks on last week’s show. Let’s see if us lot can add a few more signatures eh?

All eyes will be on tonight’s show. Let’s see if Jason can keep his forked tongue shut this time!

Dancing on Ice begins at 8pm, Tonight, on ITV1.

Inbetweeners star in Hollyoaks bid

‘The Inbetweeners’ actress wants a part in the Chester-based soap because she thinks she is suited to the programme’s raunchy storylines.

She said: “I have no idea what is happening in the future with ‘The Inbetweeners’. All we know is that we are filming a third series now.

“It is probably wise for the show to go out on a high while people are still really enjoying it, rather than making so many that people get bored.

“If it does end I wouldn’t mind a part in ‘Hollyoaks’ – the storylines are always very racy so it would definitely suit me!”

Emily’s comments come amid an uncertain climate within the ‘Hollyoaks’ cast – with actors fearing there will be a mass cull, at the hands of new producer Paul Marquess, known as ‘The Axeman’ after he made radical changes to other soaps, including ‘The Bill’ and ‘Family Affairs’.

Emily has previously said her dream role would be as one of the glamorous girls in the James Bond series of spy films.

Emily is also presently competing in reality show ‘Dancing On Ice’.

Atack was recently papped with Hollyoaks star Kieron Richardson – raising eyebrows over whether there was something going on between the two of them!

Do you think her desires to join Hollyoaks have anything to do with Kieron working there? Is this just coincidence or…? Hmm…

Kieron linked to Emily Atack after NTA's?

Guys our heads are in a right state of confusion right now and we need to ask the internet community for confirmation on this question…

Is Kieron Richardson (who plays Ste Hay) G.A.Y.?

These photos were published the other day of Kieron stumbling hand-in-hand with Inbetweeners actress Emily Atack.

Many gossip rags were speculating that the pair were romantically linked and that behind closed doors they were getting up to stuff!

But in today’s Heat, they’ve apparently spoken to Kieron and quashed the rumours that anything is going on between the two.

Oddly there is NO quote given by the gossip site, only that Kieron ’says’ that he is happily in his relationship of 3 years.

For a long time there’s been plenty of rumours that the actor is gay. His recent costume choices have also raised a few eyebrows.

What do you lot reckon? Is he Gay? Anyone have a name or a photo of his ‘3 year partner’?

Hollyoaks has another cast member dying for the public vote this month as ITV1’s Dancing On Ice has started and has stolen Ste Hay played by Kieron Richardson.

Kieron has told E4.com his fear of going on to the reality TV programme; “Oh my god! Oh my god! How am I going to do this!?” - Don’t you worry Kieron! We know that you can easily win this for Hollyoaks!

Kieron has also confirmed that like Ricky Whittle, he will feature on his reality show and simultaneously appear onscreen at Hollyoaks. So for Ste fans, this means we shall not be seeing any less of Ste! Although, at the moment, we would like to see more of the Bad boy image! So we have one last thing to say… (yes… we have a Ste spoiler for you!!!)

Hollyoaks bad boy Kieron Richardson is to be announced as a contender for the new series of Dancing On Ice according to rumours on the web.

The 23-year-old, who plays Ste Hay in the soap, is said to have started training for the skating show.

A source told Digital Spy: “Kieron’s already training hard and he’s looking forward to competing against some of the great names in the line-up.”

The source continued: “He has a lot to live up to, though, if he wants to follow in the footsteps of his close friend and former co-star Chris Fountain.”

Chris, who played Justin Burton in Hollyoaks, took part in the 2008 series and came second to Suzanne Shaw.

EastEnders star Danniella Westbrook and ex-Corrie actor Danny Young are also said to be taking part in the new run.

A spokeswoman for Dancing On Ice would not comment on speculation about the line-up.

Coorrr they’re all signing up to these reality shows – is the pay not that good in SoapLand alone? Say what you think in our forums!!
