Paul Danan

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Paul Danan (born in London) is a British actor who played Sol Patrick in the UK teen soap opera Hollyoaks. He also appeared as a contestant on ITV1's Celebrity Love Island where he had a series of liaisons with the female contestants on the show. Press interest escalated after he shared a bed with the American model Nikki Ziering, sparking speculation that the couple had sex on the resort. He is a minor celebrity and continues to stay very much in the glare of the media.[1]. He's also been becoming more famous across Europe, especially Spain (he used to date Spanish singer Natalia).

He recently presented a British Television series entitled Test drive my Girlfriend on ITV2. 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. Paul has been in America working on a new pilot comedy sitcom. Paul is playing support in a comedy sitcom starring Bill Cosby and Minnie Driver. The pilot shows have been well received and the show will officially start in February 2007.

In a bid to boost flagging ratings, Paul was thrown into ITV1's Love Island for a second time but was voted off on the 7th August. His constant sibling-like arguments with Sophie Anderton dominated most of the show.

In September 2006 he appeared on ITV2's "Calum, Fran and Dangerous Danan" in which he spent 2 weeks with Calum Best and Fran Cosgrave, travelling from Texas to Los Angeles on America's Route 66. Along the way they had to earn money for their own food and petrol by working in various places such as Restaurants, Garages, Ranches and Nightclubs. The boys completed their 1200 mile journey in just under 2 weeks and despite a few problems with their Cadillac (and not to mention serious lack of food and money) the trip was regarded a success by all 3 boys.

On stage, Paul played the part of the Monster in Desires of Frankenstein by James Martin Charlton at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2002[2].
