He eventually manages to change direction, but this only causes him to pick up speed.
His feet slide uncontrollably along the soggy grass as he lets out several scream, but still manages to stay upright.
All the while, Kieran's date can be heard in hysterics as he charges towards a fence at the bottom of the field.
Kieran finally manages to slow down, jogging to a halt at the bottom of the hill and narrowly avoiding smashing into the fence.

With one final wobble, Kieran comes to a complete stop and looks back at the camera in disbelief.
Luckily, the fitness enthusiast saw the funny side and posted the video on Twitter with the caption: 'First date going well.'
The blooper had social media users in stitches with one, Jordan Waters, commenting: 'Can't stop watching, thanks for making my day.'
Another viewer, Taylor Slarks, wrote: 'This is the funniest thing I've seen in my life.'

Kieran later explained: 'This video was taken after I already slid down the hill and face planted. It would only happen to me.
'I slid for days. I could have actually just crawled under a rock. Just need to laugh.'
Speaking today, he added: 'I was on a first date out on a walk, coming down the hill I slid really far.
'He started to record and that's when I slid again, but to stop further embarrassment I managed to keep my balance.
'No injuries though. My date found it hilarious.'
