Leeds Big Brother star Kieron ‘Citizen Science’ Harvey and what happened to him

Big Brother's Citizen Science - aka Kieron Harvey was quite the controversial housemate when he appeared in series six of the Channel 4 reality TV show and certainly divided opinions among viewers.

The 35-year-old musician, from Leeds, who prefers to go by 'Science the Great' - Science for short - described himself as "pimped out, outspoken and a bit like James Dean", during his audition tape. Science believed he had a "rare talent" admitting his favourite three songs of all time are his own work.

He went on the show to promote himself and his band, Urban Promotions. The musician believes he is a massively talented and destined for success.

During his time in the Big Brother house, he boldly said: "I'm too much to handle. They can see my rare talents could give me an advantage and I am a competitor."

Science was one of the first ever six housemates to refuse to partake in standard Big Brother nominations. He faced the public vote for doing so and was later evicted by the closest ever two-way vote in Big Brother history.

He certainly caused a stir during his time on the show but what has Science the Great been up to since leaving Big Brother? Here's everything we know about where the Leeds aspiring musician is now.

Where is Kieron ‘Science’ Harvey now?

After leaving the Big Brother house, Science spent two-and-a-half years working in the London urban industry and around the UK. He hosted events, gave awards for positive achievements of young people in different regions of the UK for various different organisations. He also hosted the MOBO awards and Channel U awards.

It is believed Science is now living and working in Leeds. While he is quite a tricky one to track down it seems the musician returned to Leeds and ventured into TV with a programme called The Citizen Science Show on former community channel MyTV Leeds.

He also played a victim in a 2010 Craig Fairbrass movie called Freight. He also has a "motion picture and video production" company called Shining Star Enterprise.

While Science is active on social media, most of his posts are inspirational posts and he says very little about what he is up to in his career and his personal life.
