Kieron Richardson admits Ronaldo crush

Kieron Richardson has revealed that he fancies Cristiano Ronaldo.

The Hollyoaks actor, who came out last month, told New magazine that he was shocked to discover that he was fancied by celebrity blogger Perez Hilton.

He said: "The most surprising reaction I had was from Perez Hilton, who said in his blog he fancied me!

"He's not my type, though - give me Ronaldo any day!"

Richardson admitted that he had been worried about coming out because it might affect how people viewed his character Ste.

"I was worried before that I shouldn't say I was gay," he said. "Because my character was this tough guy and people might then think of me as a gay guy. But now it fits in with the storyline I'm doing."

Speaking to Digital Spy recently, Richardson confessed that he is "terrified" about the plot which will see Ste become involved in an abusive gay relationship.
