Hollyoaks star Paul Danan dies aged 46

Paul Danan played bad boy Sol Patrick in the Channel 4 soap Hollyoaks, and more recently had appeared on the celebrity versions of reality shows Love Island and Big Brother. 

He was not on the list.

Hollyoaks star Paul Danan has died at the age of 46.

He was best known for playing bad boy Sol Patrick in the Channel 4 soap Hollyoaks in the late 1990s and early 2000s.

Danan later appeared on the celebrity versions of Love Island and Big Brother.

The actor had been due to appear for a plea hearing at Warrington Magistrates' Court on Thursday after being charged with being in possession of several bags of cocaine and a "quantity" of cannabis, according to court documents.

He was also accused of driving whilst under the influence of drugs on 2 October last year in Warrington, Cheshire.

Announcing his death, Danan's management said in a statement: "It is with heavy hearts that we share the tragic news of the passing of @pauldanan at just 46 years old.

"Known for his television presence, exceptional talent, and unwavering kindness, Paul was a beacon of light to so many.

"His untimely departure will leave irreplaceable voids in the lives of all who knew him.

"During this difficult time, we kindly request respect and privacy for Paul's family, friends, and colleagues. No further comments will be made at this time."
