Hollyoaks actress Chelsee Healey watched from the public gallery at Manchester Crown Court as the father of her 15-month-old daughter, Eddie Raindford, faced jail
Chelsee Healey attended court to watch the father of her 15-month-old daughter were he was due to be sentenced for his role in a ‘wholesale’ drug-dealing operation. The Dancing On Ice star, 36, had tried to keep his identity under wraps from fans as she only revealed his first name.
She attended Manchester Crown Court on Monday, where Eddie Rainford, 32, and another man named Jay Boyd appeared. The Hollyoaks actress, who plays Goldie McQueen, previously called Rainford “The One” and “marriage material”.
The case was adjourned after judge Peter Horgan said the pair they were likely facing an “immediate custodial sentence.” He has been held on remand at HMP Forest Bank to await sentence.
Chelsee appeared shocked as she watched from the public gallery, according to Daily Mail. In January, Rainford pleaded guilty to being concerned in the supply of a Class B drug between November 2022 and September 2023.
It came just four days after Chelsee was eliminated from ITV’s Dancing on Ice. Chelsee appeared to hint at the tough time as she became the first celebrity to leave the ice skating competition.
During her exit, she took the moment to brand pro partner Andy Buchanan as “amazing” and expressed that she “couldn’t have done it without him”. She added: “I feel, personally, there’s been a lot going on with me that I’ve been struggling with, so I couldn’t completely focus. I’m just really grateful, I’ve had the best time.”
Chelsee also shared a heartfelt message with her fans, posting pictures of herself in her Dancing On Ice glam. Alongside the post, she penned: “Had so many messages about Dancing on ice Thankyou Everyone for the Support.”
She continued: “Just know i am where i need to be. Just a little context of how i have been feeling with the 2 videos, I have had a lot to deal with and God Knew i needed to just take time for Myself and Be at home With My Girls. A Smile can sometimes Hide a thousand Feelings.”
A few weeks later, Chelsee decided to tell her fans that she had a miscarriage while she was a contestant on Dancing On Ice. She said that she felt “blessed” to already be a parent to daughters Coco, seven, and Cookie, one, but the “grief still feels enormous”.
Chelsee shared: “I haven’t been able to talk about this until now, because it’s been too painful. I hope by sharing it now it can help other women going through something similar. Been so anxious to post.
“Whilst committed to DOI and the busy training schedule, to our shock we discovered that I was pregnant. Within weeks of finding out this news, before me and my family could allow this news to sink in and digest it, I suffered a miscarriage.
“Understandably this really did devastate me and hit me deeply, finding out this news and then having it taken in such a short proof of time is an awful lot to deal with. I know I am beyond blessed to have two beautiful daughters but the grief still feels enormous.
“I am grieving for the little soul I carried momentarily who I’ll never get to meet, the sibling that my girls will never get to have. The child that will forever leave my heart curious with the ‘what ifs’. And it is painful.”
She concluded her post: “A gentle reminder that we never know what someone else is going through or how their pain maybe hurting them. To all of you, I am sending my love.”
