According to reports, Matt was shocked that Katie Price ’s ex-husband, and former stripper, Kieran had landed a part in his latest drama, The Death Of Bunny Munro. It’s been said that Kieran was accidentally cast in the six-part Sky Atlantic drama, adapted from popular singer Nick Cave's second novel.
Recent reports claimed House of the Dragon actor Matt was surprised that Kieran was meant to appear in the same series as him and asked production to remove Kieran from all the scenes he had recorded. OK! have gone to reps for both Matt and Kieran for comment. A source told the Daily Mail : “When Matt realised Kieran was on the same show, he was quite surprised.
“Both men have been on the set now and they have filmed scenes, but Matt's team decided that he couldn't possibly appear alongside someone like him so asked production staff to edit him out.” Kieran reportedly doesn’t have a role in the show, but does appear in the background of one scene as an extra. A source said: “Kieran doesn't have a role in the show.
He came via an extras agency and was in the background of one scene as an extra. No one on production knew who he was.” The TV drama will follow the story of misogynistic Bunny Munro, a sex addict who meets women through his job as a travelling beauty products salesman.
The Death of Bunny Munro is directed by Isabella Eklof. The production team have been seen filming in Worthing, Eastbourne and Brighton - the series also stars Roadkill actress Sarah Greene. Kieran, 37, is mostly known for his relationship to Katie which began a relationship in 2012, they tied the knot in 2013, but decided to split in 2018 and divorce in 2021.
The romance included the arrival of now 10-year-old son Jett and nine-year-old daughter Bunny, accusations of affairs, and an explosive relationship collapse fallout. Kieran has since moved on with fianceé Michelle Penticost. The pair first started dating in 2018 after meeting in the playground of their children’s school.
In 2020, the couple got engaged during a romantic holiday in the Maldives. And in 2021, Michelle and Kieran welcomed their first child together, son Apollo Phoenix..
