BBC’s The Traitors is the show on everyone’s lips at the moment. In fact, it’s been dubbed “the best TV show ever” by fans.
From the psychological mind games to the secret real-life relationships, 22 contestants have signed themselves up for a ‘traitor’ or ‘faithful’ fate in the hopes of winning the £120,000 cash prize.
Amongst the hopefuls include TV presenter Alex Gray, property agent Aaron Evans, part-time Albert Square resident, actor Maddy Smedley, and business consultant Kieran Tompsett. And the latter just happens to be mates with Wayne Lineker.
But aside from rubbing shoulders with the rich and famous, what else do we know about the 42 year old?
When asked about his appearance on the show, he said: "I've never done anything like this before ever, some TV shows would not be of interest to me whatsoever. However, this had a pretty cool twist.”
After a brief social media stalk, it looks as though Kieran is quite the family man, and quite the joker, too.
Amongst the promo shots and videos of The Traitors - which there’s a lot of, by the way - he’s shared lots of candid shots with his family, including selfies with his children and his stunning wife Katie.
Posting a carousel of him and his two kids snuggled up on the sofa, Kieran also showed his funny side, as he captioned the post: “Daddy day care for a few days! Mummy drinking her own body weight in Prosecco on holiday.”
There was also more of a serious post - a video that showed a slideshow of family photos, with the caption: “Focus on what’s important, the rest WILL come.”
With hashtags including #dreamscomestrue and #timetoshine, these affirmations were a clear nod to his appearance on the reality show, as it was posted two days after the first episode aired.
Kieran’s pal Wayne Lineker even commented on the video with two love hearts. And speaking of Gary Lineker’s younger brother, there were also snaps of the reality star soaking up the sun in Ibiza for his 60th birthday back in April.
“IBIZA Wayne’s 60th,” he captioned the post, which included selfies and videos of Kieran with the other guests. Of course, there were some pretty recognisable people celebrating the occasion, including Gogglebox star, Scarlett Moffatt.
The I’m a Celeb winner even took to her own Instagram stories to share her love for the show, and as well as calling for it to be shown on Gogglebox, she also mentioned that she’s partied with Kieran at Ocean Beach Club in Ibiza.
Small world!
