Why is Kieron Richardson leaving Hollyoaks after 13 years?

Kieron is departing from Hollyoaks after 13 years to try his hand at a couple of other projects. 

The talented actor has played his character Ste Hay through a series of emotional storylines including his coming out as gay and domestic abuse plot. 

But he is now quitting for a breath of fresh air.

The talented actor has landed a role in the stage version of Kay Mellor’s crime drama Band of Gold, which will tour the UK in late 2019 and 2020. 

He’ll act alongside fellow soap stars including Laurie Brett (EastEnders’ Jane Beale), Gaynor Faye (Emmerdale’s Jane Beale) and Shayne Ward (Coronation Street’s Aiden Connor).

The dad of two has also announced on his personal Instagram that he’s taking part in Sleep Walk for Shelter ahead of his departure – a 10km night walk through London to support the city’s homeless. 

Kieron is one of many stars to join the charitable cause, including singer Rita Ora, Hollyoaks co-star Jorgie Porter and former United footballer Rio Ferdinand.
