The synopsis says: "A dark creature has found its way through an open portal and is wreaking havoc in the real world. People are frightened for their lives and now it is down to Kyle and Mylo to save the world."

In an appearance on This Morning, Kyle was dubbed the UK's highest-earning TikTok teenager and admitted that he earns enough to live comfortably. When questioned by hosts Andi Peters and Rochelle Humes, Kyle confessed that he could easily buy a new toaster, a new car or even a new house.

"I left school so I could go and do this as a job," he admitted.
