More about
Kyran Bracken MBE
A passionate sportsman from an early age, Kyran even trialled for Liverpool F.C. and had a stint with Rugby League giants St Helens. However, it was Rugby Union that secured him a scholarship to Stonyhurst College, where he captained the England Schoolboys team.
In 1996, Kyran joined Saracens at the dawn of a new era for the club, dedicating the rest of his playing career to them. He served as club captain until his retirement in 2006, later taking on roles as a scrum-half coach and working on the commercial side of the organisation.
Kyran was a regular in the England squad, competing for the number 9 shirt alongside Matt Dawson, Austin Healey, and Andy Gomarsall. He represented England in both the 1995 and 2003 Rugby World Cups, with his standout performance against South Africa in 2003 proving pivotal to England’s success.
In 2007, Kyran embraced a new challenge by competing in ITV’s Dancing On Ice, partnering with American pairs skater Melanie Lambert. Despite initial struggles—including back issues and difficulty staying on his feet—he dedicated himself to rigorous training, quickly revealing a natural talent for skating.
His skill and charisma won over audiences, and he set a then-record high score of 29.5 in the semi-final. In the grand final, he mesmerised viewers with the iconic Bolero routine, performed in front of legends Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean, ultimately defeating 2point4 Children star Clare Buckfield and Blue’s Duncan James to claim the Dancing On Ice crown.
With his unique blend of elite sporting experience and entertainment industry success, Kyran is a highly engaging and motivational speaker. Book him now to inspire your audience with his journey of dedication, resilience, and adaptability.
