Has anyone noticed that Brandon Kreymborg – who calls himself BK – seems to have disappeared from our screens since starring in the broadcast team for ID25? While we simply thought he had taken a holiday after his on-track exertions during the coverage of the series, some are saying different. The rumor is he that […]
