Kieran Hayler leaves fans speechless with revelation he appeared on EastEnders
Kieran Hayler has stunned his fans by reflecting on his past acting credits - sharing a throwback clip of himself performing on EastEnders.
The 36-year-old personal trainer - most famous for being married to 45-year-old Katie Price from 2013 until 2021 and sharing children Jett, 10, and Bunny, nine, with her - explained that he featured on the BBC soap four times. And in an acting turn that probably didn’t take too much effort, the former exotic dancer played the role of a stripper.
Taking to Instagram on Sunday, Kieran astonished his fans when he shared a clip from the show in which he can be seen performing a strip tease at a stag do held to honour Christian Clarke, played by John Partridge, ahead of his marriage to Syed Masood, played by Marc Elliott. The clip showed a raucous scene at the iconic Queen Vic with Kieran - whose character also appears to be called Kieran - stripping off to the delight of a host of Albert Square characters.
He uploaded the clip alongside a message that explained a little more about his past as a bit-part actor. Kieran wrote: “Being on Eastenders was a blast. 4 times over the years, I guess you could call me the Walford local stripper.”

He then added: "Zainab got most of the action" - tagging Nina Wadia who played Zainab Masood on the soap from 2007 until 2013. The clip showed Zainab protesting weakly as Kieran placed her hands on her rippling muscles. Fans were stunned to see the clip resurface. Responding in the comments section of the post, one fan typed: "No way.. I didn’t realise it was you there." Another wrote: “Oh I didn't know u was on EastEnders I want to find episodes now.”

While many others demanded to see clips from the other episodes he claimed to be in. His official IMDB page only lists one credit of him appearing in the BBC soap, however, and he is listed as an uncredited “Stripper” in the episode dating from 2012.
The year 2012 was also the year that Keiran’s ill-fated romance with Katie started. The pair began dating towards the end of that year - and married the following January. The marriage was far from smooth, however, and was rocked by accusations of cheating.
The pair welcomed two children together but ultimately divorced in 2021 after splitting in May 2018. While Katie has continued to struggle to find love, Kieran has since settled down with fiancée Michelle Pentecost.
The pair started their romance in 2018 after meeting at their children’s school. They became engaged in 2020 and were excited to become free to marry the following year after Kieran’s divorce from Katie was finalised - but they are yet to officially tie the knot.
Michelle and Kieran welcomed their first child together, a son named Apollo Phoenix in 2021 - while Michelle also has a son named Valentino from a previous romance. Discussion of his son’s name, Kieran previously said: “I quite like space names and Apollo was a Greek God and I like that it’s a strong character. Phoenix is a constellation of stars and it’s also the bird that keeps being reborn. Like in Harry Potter, the bird dies and then rises from the flames. Together, it hopefully means he’s invincible.”
