Always and forever Daddy.'Mr Danan, from the town of Chigwell, Essex, was best known for his turn in Hollyoaks. Four years later, in 2005, he was a contestant on the first series of ITV's Celebrity Love Island and returned for the second series in 2006 - but did not win either. He was also a housemate on the twentieth series of Celebrity Big Brother in 2017.

His girlfriend Melissa Crooks raised the alarm about him earlier this year when she had not heard from him after they had been out together for a 'couple of drinks' in the early hours of January 14. A neighbour then used a ladder to gain entry to his first-floor flat where Danan was found dead. He was found slumped at the edge of the sofa with the TV still on, the inquest at Avon Coroner's Court in Flax Bourton, near Bristol, heard. Emergency services attended the scene and he was pronounced dead at 5.20pm on January 15. His body was identified at the property by Ms Crooks.A postmortem examination concluded his death was due to combined toxicity of heroin, methadone, codeine, pregabalin, cocaine and zopiclone, contributed to by benzodiazepine use.Assistant Coroner Debbie Rookes reached a conclusion in May that he had died by misadventure after hearing written statements from emergency services, doctors, and his mother Beverley Danan.The statement from Mrs Danan said: 'Paul helped so many people from all walks of life, but just couldn't help himself in the same way. 'His smiling face and love of life will always be remembered.'The coroner concluded Mr Danan died from the combined effects of prescribed and illicit drugs. She told the hearing there was no evidence the star, who suffered an accidental overdose in May last year, intended to take his own life.A previous hearing was informed he had not left a note.The coroner said: 'Paul Danan was clearly much loved and is very much missed.'Mr Danan had a long history of drug misuse and struggles with his mental health. His death was caused by a combination of drugs, both prescription and illicit.'Paul had struggled with his mental health for many years. 'He had taken an overdose in May 2024, but he was adamant that this was accidental and he didn't have any intention to end his life.'Although he had occasional suicidal thoughts, he didn't have any active plans. I don't have any evidence before me that Paul intended to take his own life at this time.'Therefore, the conclusion is misadventure.'She added none of the drugs Mr Danan took were found in high levels but their combined effect resulted in 'fatal respiratory depression'. He had been due to appear for a plea hearing at Warrington Magistrates' Court on January 16. It came after he was charged with being found in possession of cocaine and cannabis, according to court documents.He was also accused of driving while under the influence of drugs on October 2 last year, in Warrington, Cheshire.This is a breaking story - more updates to follow.
