Connor stated he was forced to come out as bisexual. It seems like he felt pressured because of the accusations that he was queerbaiting. The controversy started when photos of Kit holding hands with Maia Reficco, his co-star in A Cuban Girl’s Guide to Tea and Tomorrow went viral on social media.

Kit made his acting debut at the young age of 8. Back in the day, he made a few appearances in Chickens on Sky One, the television film An Adventure in Space and Time, and the soap opera Casualty. He rose to prominence with Netflix’s show Heartstopper.
