TV star Chelsee Healey watched on as the father of her 15-month-old daughter was warned he's facing jail for his role in a 'wholesale' drug-dealing operation.

Eddie Rainford, 32, along with another man Jay Boyd, supplied large quantities of cannabis.

Hollyoaks actress Chelsee, 36, who plays Goldie McQueen on the Channel 4 soap, had tried to keep his identity a secret with only his first name being revealed to fans, despite describing him as 'The One' for her and 'marriage material'.

She was at Manchester Crown Court on Monday, where Rainford and Boyd were due to be sentenced.

But the case was adjourned after judge Peter Horgan warned the pair they were likely facing an 'immediate custodial sentence'.
