Chelsee Healey's boyfriend and father of her daughter has been jailed for his involvement in a drug-dealing operation. The Hollyoaks actress came to support Eddie Rainford at Manchester Crown Court earlier in the week.
Eddie Rainford along with another man, Jay Boyd, were accused of supplying large quantities of cannabis.
Chelsee Healey, who plays Goldie McQueen on Hollyoaks, had tried to keep Rainford's identity a secret and had only shared his first name with fans.
Rainford was remanded at HP Forest Bank while awaiting his sentencing. Judge Horgan then jailed Rainford for 24 months.
In January this year, he pleaded guilty to being concerned in the supply of the Class B drug between November 11, 2022 and September 28, 2023.
He had admitted the same charge at an earlier hearing, when the court heard that he and another man had a "significant role" in supplying the Class B drug.
