Kyran may be better known as an ice skater than he ever was for rugby but he spent 15 years as a top class Rugby Union player and became a World Cup winner in 2003 before he became a household name in 2007's Dancing On Ice.
Sport has always been Kyran's passion, even having a trial for Liverpool F.C and trying to play Rugby League for St. Helens. But it was his Rugby Union that managed to get him a scholarship to Stonyhurst College, where he was a pupil when he captained England School boys.
In 1996 he started the new era with a new club Saracens, a club he would devote the rest of his career too, becoming Captain until his retirement in 2006 and scrum half coach, as well as working on the commercial side of the club.
Kyran was a regular England scrum half battling for the number 9 shirt with Matt Dawson, Austin Healey and Andy Gommersall. Kyran became part of the squad for the 1995 world cup in South Africa and the 2003 world cup in Australia. It was Kyran's performance against South Africa in the 2003 world cup that is said to have won the game for England.
He took on a new sporting challenge in 2007 when he paired up with American pairs skater Melanie Lambert to take part in ITV's smash hit show Dancing On Ice. Despite struggling with his back and an early inability to stand on ice, Kyran spent many hours training on his own, and it soon became clear that he had a natural ability to skate.
He recorded what was then the highest score on Dancing on Ice with a 29.5 in the semi-final week. His skill and humour won him a lot of fans in the nine week run. In the final, he beat 2.4 children's Clare Buckfield and former boyband star Blue's Duncan James, performing the Bolero in front of Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean.
