Taking up Irish dancing at the age of four, the much-loved performance art has long been a part of Keegan's life.

But as he hits the West End in the lead role in Michael Flatley's celebrated Lord of the Dance show - heads are sure to be turned. Deemed Flatley's well-deserved successor, Flatley himself described Keegan as the 'next rising star' during an appearance on Graham Norton to promote what's being called his farewell tour. But Keegan - who was born and raised in Manchester and is strongly influenced by his family's Irish roots - has more than enough credentials to fill Flatley's dancing shoes, having won every possible major Irish dancing championship title and with performances across the world listed on his CV. If that wasn't enough, Keegan also still finds time to run the Keegan Academy of Irish Dancing with his sister, Louise.
