Celebrity Big Brother hollyoaks Love Island
This Paul Danan tribute lit up Twitter for the most unexpected reasons and it doesn’t get more touching than this
Sad news on Thursday that Paul Daman has died aged just 46.
We knew him best from Celebrity Love Island back in the day and he also appeared in Hollyoaks between 1997 and 2001 as well as Celebrity Big Brother.
There was no end of heartfelt tributes on Twitter, like this one.
I’m so upset that Paul Danan’s not here anymore.
He was a kind man who genuinely cared about whatever he was doing, helping other actors with mental health issues.
He acted in one of my short films and tried to help me raise funds. pic.twitter.com/8kI5qP2gpX— Jane Sanger (@luminofilms) January 16, 2025
And this one.
I’m gutted that Paul Danan’s not here anymore.
He was a kind man who genuinely cared about whatever he was doing, and would tell you he “luffed you” at every opportunity.
We hadn’t spoken in a while, but I’ll miss him, and I’ll always wish I’d called him back xx pic.twitter.com/wd4ktoZUL7— Joe Tracini (@joetracini) January 16, 2025
And funny memories from his career on TV …

… and off it.
My favourite Paul Danan moment was when he was switching the Christmas lights on in Preston and he told the audience of 3,000 people, mostly made up of children, to “make some fucking noise” as he flicked the switch. He got sacked from the city’s pantomime the next day.

But if one tribute, of a sort, sums up the state of so much of Twitter right now, then it’s surely this one, from @Pu55yman_Dan.
It is indeed no age, @Pu55yman_Dan. Also – hope you get your telly fixed soon.
RIP Paul Danan

I mean if he doesn’t do the eulogy it’ll be an opportunity missed
