A look-back at Paul Danan's monumental career dating back to 1999! The star soared to fame as Sol Patrick in Channel 4 soap Hollyoaks before appearing on Celebrity Big Brother in 2017.
Paul Danan's tragic final post: Hollyoaks star shared personal message with fans. Vaping's EXTREME dangers as Paul Danan dies at 46For someone who had a knack for shooting himself in the foot that was by turns infuriating and strangely endearing, Paul Danan did not want for success.
Born into a Moroccan Jewish family in Chigwell, Essex on July 2, 1978, Danan harboured acting ambitions from an early age. It says much about Danan that former stars of the BBC soap opera were among the first to pay tribute to him, with Dean Gafney describing a man whose 'demons' were accompanied by 'a heart of gold' and Michael Greco hailing him as 'genuine and caring'.
Danan, who first experimented with drugs as a teenager, described it as a moment when he crossed an invisible line, with his 'addictive personality' making it difficult to pull back. At least 17 stints in rehab would follow. Danan died just hours before he was due to appear in a Warrington courtroom on Thursday after being charged with the possession of drugs
A date with Katie Price proved similarly unsuccessful - as did repeated efforts to woo Hollywood star Cameron Diaz - while a potential romance with Emma Bunton took a downward turn after the Spice Girl's bandmate Victoria Beckham snubbed him. Danan rose to fame after playing the role of Sol Patrick on the Channel 4 soap opera Hollyoaks.
