REALITY television star Paul Danan, who recently moved to Royston, was first charged with a public order offence and possession of cannabis in Kneesworth Street, in the town, on the afternoon of September 4.

He was then charged with possession of cocaine after police were called to Stamford Yard, also in Royston, at 3am on Sunday, after reports of a disturbance.

A police spokeswoman said: “We were called by a member of the public who had concerns for the welfare of a man in Kneesworth Street.

“Paul Danan, from Royston, was charged with a public order offence and possession of cannabis.

“Officers were also called on September 5 and he was charged with possession of cocaine.”

The spokeswoman conformed that Mr Danan had been bailed to appear before magistrates in Stevenage on September 21.

He played Sol Patrick in Hollyoaks from 1997 to 2001, and has since appeared on Celebrity Love Island in 2005 and 2006.
