Mikey Connor first came to the public’s attention as one of the contestants on BBC Three’s landmark reality TV show I Kissed A Boy.

But before Mikey was on television, he was out on the pitches, week in and week out, officiating in games across the Merseyside area.

And even though Mikey is now firmly established as a social media presence, his first love is, in many ways, still the beautiful game.

So, there’s every chance you’ll see him refereeing or speaking to LGBTQ+ fan groups about the importance of inclusion – or raising awareness of cancer after his own experiences with the disease.

He’s also one of the nicest blokes there is out there, and it’s great to have Mikey back on the show.

We talk about Everton; his love of the Toffees; challenging stereotypes and breaking down cliches; visibility and being a role-model; what the future holds; and loads, loads more!
