LOVE Island and Hollyoaks icon Paul Danan's will has been revealed after the star tragically died at the age of 46.
Danan sadly passed away on January 15, aged 46, and documents have revealed his estate was worth more than £438,000.
Danan left £30,000 to each of his two brothers, Jamie and Joshua, in his will while he also left £20,000 to Emma Devries, described as the guardian of his son.
He left the rest of his estate to his ten-year-old son with the will stipulating he would inherit the cash when he reaches the age of 21.
He often shared his love for his son on social media writing moving captions alongside father-son snaps, including one which said: "My life, my world, my everything."
Another said: "Happy birthday to my most precious, beautiful, amazing child in the whole wide world! I love you so so much and want to be with you every day and pls G-d one day we will.
"For now I will wish you the most amazing birthday wishes and hope all your dreams come true. I love you baby. Always and forever Daddy."
Danan, of Chigwell, Essex, was best known for portraying Sol Patrick in the Channel 4 soap opera Hollyoaks, between 1997 and 2001.
In 2005, he appeared as a contestant on the first series of ITV's Celebrity Love Island and returned for the second series in 2006.
In 2017, he took part in Celebrity Big Brother, which he said hoped would give him a "second chance" at his career.
Other appearances included Celebrity Coach Trip, and Channel 4 sketch comedy programme The Kevin Bishop Show.
Away from the screen, Paul battled demons including substance abuse, which he discussed on The Jeremy Kyle Show in 2019.
The troubled star told how he battled a cocaine addiction and revealed he had been to rehab 17 times.
Danan had previously said he experimented with ecstasy from the age of 14 and later survived a heroin overdose in 2007.
He also opened up about his health issues to The Sun last year – revealing that he suffered respiratory failure triggered by his addiction to vapes.
Avon and Somerset Police attended an address in Brislington, Bristol, where Danan was pronounced dead.
Following an inquest it was announced he had died from a cocktail of drugs with heroin, methadone, pregabalin, cocaine and zopiclone found in his system, with a secondary finding of benzodiazepine.
Paul was laid to rest in an emotional funeral on January 21 attended by Boyzone's Shane Lynch and his Hollyoaks co-stars.
