EastEnders Actress Embarrassed Over Boyfriend’s ‘Secret Past’ As Porn Star

EastEnders star Lorna Fitzgerald is said to be shocked and embarrassed after learning about her boyfriend’s alleged past in porn. The 18-year-old, who plays the role of Abi Branning in the hit BBC soap, is in a relationship with Keo Reid, a 25-year-old sports therapist that reportedly has a ‘secret’ history. According to the Sunday Mirror, Reid engaged in online work for a fetish website that charges users €280 for a year’s subscription. Under an alias, Reid appears in more than 20 X-rated videos, the first of which was uploaded in December 2012 and the most recent on October 16th of this year. The couple have been together for six months. A source told the paper that Lorna is “really embarrassed” by the news. “She's such a sweet girl and she'll hate her family and everyone else finding out about this”. Adding: “It’ll come as a real shock to them. I feel so sorry for her.” A friend of Reid also spoke to the paper, claiming that he got involved with the site because it paid well. “Keo just did these films as a bit of fun for good money. There’s nothing on there that’s illegal”. “Although it features men, it’s not a gay thing. It’s a fetish website rather than a gay website. Everything is consensual and above board,” the friend continued. “The theme of the movies aren’t sexual and Keo is completely straight. It’s not about men interacting in a sexual way. It’s a punishment or humiliation website. “You get paid different amounts for different things depending on what you do… it’s a lot better than moving bricks around a building site all week”. The actress is yet to make a comment regarding the allegations.
