Hollyoaks ‘secret couple’ Anna Passey and Kyle Pryor launch candle company together in lockdown – The Sun
HOLLYOAKS stars and "secret couple" Anna Passey and Kyle Pryor have launched their own candle company during lockdown.
The actress – who plays Sienna Blake in the Channel 4 soap – and her co-star boyfriend decided to use their travels as inspiration to make and flog their own candles.
Anna said: "In wintertime last year, @kyleipryor & I started making our own candles, that grew and now we have our own candle company Kip Candle Co."
She added: "Kip Candle Co. was born out of our passion for travel.
"Everywhere we went we would collect beautiful smelling candles and incense to bring back to relive our adventures in our home. It's amazing how quickly a scent can take you back to a moment or place.
"Every candle is hand made lovingly by us in our studio, making each one individual and of the highest quality."
Love blossomed for the couple as they sparred on set as enemies Sienna Blake and Lawrie Shelby.
So @kylepryor and I have been working on a little passion project ? Can I introduce you to @kipcandlecoWe are so excited to launch our hand-poured, eco soy wax candle range. We hope you love them! Big thanks to @rorylewisphoto @alexandralewisphoto for this little snap!

Anna gushed about Kyle in an interview last year, telling Digital Spy: "Kyle is such a nice guy.
"I think he's probably the nicest man I've ever met! When I met him I thought, 'How is he going to do this storyline? He's so nice!' But then you get on set with him and he can be really frightening.
"He's brought a really dark undertone to this character and I'm really excited to watch that unfold.
"He's playing this really complicated character who's so charming, serious and handsome, but he has this dark, manipulative side to him as well."
It took more than a year for them to quietly reveal themselves as a couple after they moved in together.
They were pictured together at the Soap Awards last year – but as part of a bigger group from the soap.
And after finally revealing their secret, Anna told New magazine: "We just don't feel the need to put it out there. It's nice to keep something for yourselves. But we're not trying to keep it private to build the mystery."
She added: "We became really good friends first and it went from there. It's a bit of a strange one because I look at him now and think, 'How were we not instantly in love when we saw each other?'"
