Wilkins recently took another big step in his career by moving to Los Angeles to work on his acting and presenting opportunities.
He told Who magazine he hopes to secure opportunities in Hollywood this year.
“I just think there’s an opportunity to get out there and see what can happen, and I’d like to try and explore that,” he said.
“I always wanted to be an actor or nighttime TV presenter. That would be a dream… so let’s try to manifest that and see if it happens.”

It’s probably a huge disappointment for Christian, whose connection to his dad previously helped him smooth a modeling and reality TV career back home.
The model became involved in the strike after recently attending a protest with Australian actor Luke Cook outside Netflix headquarters.
Speaking to The Daily Telegraph during the demonstration, Christian said: ‘It certainly wouldn’t have been my favorite moment to move here, but it’s also quite amazing to be here and see how the community has come together.’
Christian is best known for starring in the Stan television series Eden and appearing in Dancing with the Stars in 2020, as well as his modeling work.
