Paul Danan (born 1978 in London) is a British actor who played Sol Patrick in the United Kingdom teen soap opera Hollyoaks between 1997 and 2001. In 2005, Danan appeared in Celebrity Love Island.

On stage, Paul played the part of the Monster in Desires of Frankenstein by James Martin Charlton at the 2002 Edinburgh Festival Fringe.[1]

In 2005, Danan appeared as a contestant on the first series of ITV1's Celebrity Love Island, and returned for the second series in 2006.[2] During the first series, Paul was bullied by other cast members (which was not aired), what was shown through clever editing was an angry Danan rebelling at fellow cast members - this created a manic persona for Danan against his wishes. On the second series he tried to rectify his portrayal but clever 'reality' editing put a stop to Danan winning back his previous loyal fan base.

In 2006, he presented a British Television series entitled Date my Girlfriend on ITV2.[3] In the show he acts as a modern-day Cupid and dates the girls first. Paul meets the loveless bachelors to discover why they are single, assesses their love requirements and auditions suitable girls all over the UK to draw up a shortlist of two potential lovers.

In 2006, Danan was awarded a Loaded Laftas Comedy Award for funniest reality TV personality.[4]

During 2006 - 2012 Danan was forced to re-evaluted his past experiences on shows such as "Celebrity Love Island" where he was portrayed in an incorrect light. Danan was admitted into Rehab for drug & alcohol dependancy - he battled his injustices & demons to come out of Rehab as a changed man - wanting to help others and 'give back' wherever he could. He is determined to show the general public that he is a decent guy with a huge acting background (when to school at the famous Italia Conti with other celebrity stars such as Naomi Campbell, Denise Van Outen, Kelly Brook) etc.

In 2012, Danan starred in an episode of ITV's acclaimed new daytime police drama 'Crime Stories', as a suspect in an arson case. The episode is almost entirely improvised. In the same year he was invited onto the primetime TV programme "Celebrity Come Dine With Me" with Tina Malone, Imogen Thomas and David Van Day, where he left a massive impression.

In 2013, Paul created the 'Paul Danan's Drama Club', an acting workshop where he could 'give something back'to the local community, the weekly classes have been a resounding success - although the Press/Media have not favoured Danan's pursuits, instead they have decided to make a mockery of him instead of allowing the general public to see a very down-to-earth grounded person trying to carve a career for himself.

In addition to the classes Danan has been working closely with the Amy Winehouse Foundation - visiting schools across the UK where he has been giving honest and compelling talks about his experiences with drug & alchol abuse (in his past) and how they can avoid the same. Danan has been liaising with various TV Production companies on joint TV script ideas - the same production teams who have created award winning programmes such as Louise Spence's "Pineapple Dance Studios" & Jodie Marsh's recent successes.2013 is proving to be the year that re-launches Paul's career showing the general public that the impression they were fed by TV executives on shows like "Celebrity Love Island" were merely to build ratings, 2013 will be the year that Danan will restore public opinion.
