Date of birth
Hodgson's date of birth does not seem to be available online, although Tatler here says he was 34 last year. So year of birth could be 1988 or 1989? FreeBMD has only one entry here for a Keiron Michael in 1988, mother's name Hodgson, but registered in South Shields, not anywhere in Yorkshire. There are none for 1989.

 * In this case, per WP:DOB and WP:PRIMARY (given that the freebmd source has not been verified by the subject or anyone else that it's definitely him), I'd suggest adding c. 1988, based on the probability that he hasn't had a birthday by 4 January, the date of publication of the Tatler article (which was probably written in the preceding year anyway), until a better source comes along.

 * Thanks. Yes, I never attempt to use FreeBMD as a source in an article. It's just useful for narrowing things down a bit. I was unsure if Annabel Sampson in Tatler meant aged 34 when she was writing that piece or aged 34 when he was making the musical (probably from some press release). I agree c. 1988 is a fair starting place. But I was also thinking that if Hodgson has made an effort not to make his date of birth public, there's no reason why we should try and intensively search for it. Laterz.

Sexual orientation
We currently have Category:British LGBT comedians and Category:LGBT people from Yorkshire for the article and WikiProject LGBT studies for this Talk page. I know he plays an openly gay character Gordon in Two Doors Down, but the article has no evidence of any sexual orientation? Thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 19:32, 31 December 2023 (UTC)
