King Kenny has revealed he is a carer for his mum after he was left with no choice but to get her sectioned when he was just 18 years old. The Celebrity Traitors star said he noticed his mum Vicki’s behaviour changing and she began having ‘episodes’. The YouTuber was left feeling ‘helpless’ as his mum didn’t realise she was sick, and Kenny was forced to call health professionals in ‘behind her back’ and she was sectioned.’ Speaking to fellow Celebrity Traitors star Amol Rajan on his podcast The Amol Rajan Connection, he confessed he has blocked out those years of his life as they were ‘so traumatic’. ‘I’m a carer for my mum because my mum had to go to mental health hospital.’This is going to be insane me talking about it because have you heard of when you go through something so traumatic that your brain blocks out some of it so you kind of forget that period of time in your life. King Kenny has said he was forced to get his mum sectioned and care for his siblings at 18-years-old after he was left feeling ‘helpless’ as she didn’t ‘realise she was sick’ The Celebrity Traitors star said he noticed his mum Vicki’s behaviour changing and she began having ‘episodes’ as he revealed he is a carer for her’But let’s say around early 2016, I can’t remember how old I was, 18, 19 but my mum’s behavior was changing and I was very helpless at the time and I felt like I needed to do something about it. ‘I didn’t have anyone to go to for help and I had to kind of go behind her back to get help because growing up with your mum you kind of feel like you owe her some sort of loyalty rather than doing stuff behind her back.’He explained: ‘It was very hard to tell my mum she’s not well to her face because she couldn’t see it. So I had to do it, behind her back to get help.’One thing led to another. We had some people come over to assess her. But it was weird, man, because every time they used to come and have a look and assess her, she was fine. I don’t know. It was so weird.’She used to have these episodes, right? And then one day it just exploded in front of them and they saw the full behavior and then straight away she got sectioned to the mental health hospital.’Kenny explained that after his mum was sectioned he had to look after his three younger siblings who were around 17, 11 and 10 at the time. He continued: ‘Yeah my stepdad wasn’t around, they had broken up.’As Amol asked him: ‘What do you mean that you’re helpless?’ Kenny replied: ‘Let’s say for example, like you know your mum’s sick, but she’s saying she’s not sick. He said: ‘She used to have these episodes, right? And then one day it just exploded in front in front of them and they saw the the full behavior and then straight away she got sectioned to the mental health hospital’ King Kenny was the last remaining Traitor in this year’s series of Celebrity Traitors, before he was banished at the final Endgame round ‘Remember, this is the sick version of your mum you’re talking to. You kind of don’t want to do anything behind her back without her knowing.’But if you tell her, then she’s going to get upset because she will say, “Then why do you think I’m sick? I’m fine”. And then it will turn into a toxic environment, but she doesn’t know she’s sick.’So me going behind her back is more like I was letting my mum down by doing it behind her back, but I needed to do that for her to get better.’The star added that he was ‘so broke’ as he continued: ‘I look back and laugh because I don’t know. It’s part of the process. It’s part of character. It’s a journey, mate. Do you know what I mean? ‘I mean what I will say is naturally just going to school a lot of the kids had the cool trainers, the cool clothes, the branded stuff, the Nikes, Adidas and obviously there were times when we couldn’t afford the branded stuff.’I would go to sports day with Admiral trainers from Asda [laughter] instead of the Nikes. ‘My mum was working like two, three jobs. My mum obviously did the best that she possibly could to raise us. But yeah, I don’t fault my mum for anything.’Kenny embarked on a media studies course at Brunel University of London before launching his YouTube career in 2013.Uploading a variety of prank videos with friends and vlogs, his popularity began to grow.In October 2016, he was arrested on suspicion of a public order offence whilst filming one of his pranks in which he was dressed as an evil clown wielding a chainsaw around his university campus. He was later released on bail and apologised, stating he was only chasing his friends who were aware of the prank.In 2019, he joined The Beta Squad, aka a group of British YouTubers who all lived in a house and created content together, which includes Chunkz, AJ Shabeel, Sharky, and last year’s Celebrity Traitors cast member Niko Omilana.The popular group now boasts more than 11 million subscribers.Alongside his social media career, he is a keen boxer and has competed in a number of tournaments over the years.Now, as well as his new TV career, Kenny has launched his music career.Timed to perfection, he released his debut single just days before the Celebrity Traitors final, with a nod to his stint on the BBC show in the lyrics.‘Through the night you had my back until the morning,’ Kenny sings.‘Murdering plain sight it’s me and you they’re calling.‘I’ve been running around while I been scheming. So don’t be leaving me for no one else cause I can’t do this by myself.’And Kenny almost won the show himself after he made it to the final roundtable before the Faithfuls cast their suspicions and banished him.
