Gretton charity The Travers Foundation supported Kayleigh last year. The charity supports 13 to 30-year-olds to improve their skills in sports, the creative arts and the performing arts and helped Kayleigh fund her own film EQ: A Film about Emotional Intelligence.
Kayleigh: “Last month I joined the ensemble cast of An Inspector Calls on the West End, which has received four and five star reviews.
“Although I am only in the show for a small amount of time, I am thoroughly enjoying being on the West End stage and I look forward to the opportunities that this one brings to me.”
