Published by

Paul Danan, the former Hollyoaks star renowned for portraying Sol Patrick in the Channel 4 drama between 1997 and 2001, has died at the age of 46.

This was confirmed by his management company. 

The statement from Independent Creative Management said: “It is with heavy hearts that we share the tragic news of the passing of Paul Danan at just 46 years old.

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

Danan gained further recognition for his participation in reality shows such as Celebrity Love Island in 2005 and 2006, and Celebrity Big Brother in 2017.

Danan’s management company added: “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.”

The actor had previously expressed a desire to make a comeback to Hollyoaks, although his character was last seen over two decades ago, leaving the village with Jess Holt.

In recent years, Danan embarked on a new venture with his podcast, The Morning After With Paul Danan, which ran from 2019 to 2023. His television career also featured appearances on E4’s Celebrity Coach Trip and Channel 4’s sketch comedy series The Kevin Bishop Show.

Last year, Danan candidly discussed his health challenges after being admitted to intensive care with pneumonia. Speaking to The Sun on Sunday, he revealed that medical staff had urged him to cease all forms of smoking. Although he had quit smoking traditional cigarettes in recent years, Danan admitted to having developed a “obsession” with disposable vapes.
