And now, the soap actress, famed for her role as Goldie McQueen in the Channel 4 soap, has sparked concern again amongst fans, after her boyfriend faced prison time. The star took to social media in some silk pyjamas, and told fans: 'I wanted to come on here and speak about vulnerability. 'It's so hard to come on here and open up and let people know that you're vulnerable, and I feel like I've had a guard up my whole life. 'When I'm struggling I don't let people in, and I've always put on a brave face and I don't like people knowing I'm on a downward spiral.' Chelsee continued: 'I don't like people to know that I'm not where I want to be, so I just think it's very important to say if you do need help, please reach out. 'It's a cliche saying 'It's ok not to be ok,' but you know, years ago I would never even come on social media like this, like 'this is me,' and this is the real, raw me. 'I'm speaking from the heart as well, and as I've got older I don't mind telling people I'm struggling - I think it's good and speaking to people is good, and asking for help is fine.' The Hollyoaks star finished by saying: 'If you're feeling a little bit vulnerable that's nothing to be ashamed of, it's life and everyone's vulnerable at some point. Dancing On ice star Chelsee Healey's secret boyfriend revealed as convicted drug dealer facing 14 years in prison 'It takes a big person to be honest about their feelings and when things aren't as great. So if this video has helped anyone then that's all I want.' Chelsee was flooded with messages of support in the comments, with many praising the star for her very honest post. One person wrote: 'Thank you for opening up and showing vulnerability - I think we all have this but real bravery is opening up about it.' A second penned: 'Someone living their true life on social media, you're incredible.' And a third echoed: 'Keep it up babe, you look gorgeous and you're amazing for this.' Last month, The Sun revealed that Chelsee IS returning to Hollyoaks after an extended break. A source said: 'Chelsee's returning to filming this month after her leave. 'She's had a tough time in her personal life recently but she'll be back filming soon and that'll help take her mind of it.' The news came just days after The Sun on Sunday revealed the identity of her father of her youngest child, Cookie. Chelsee had tried to keep his identity a secret ever since Cookie's birth in December. After her ice exit, Chelsee hinted at the tough time she had endured away from the cameras, and a source said: 'What Chelsee was desperately coping with while on the show was that her partner, the father of her youngest daughter, was in court for drug-dealing and has been sent to prison on remand.' Another insider said she was no longer in a relationship with Rainford. Rainford is charged with being concerned in the supply of a quantity of cannabis between November 11, 2022, and September 28, 2023, in Salford.

Dancing On Ice star teases career move to ITV's Loose Women after show axe
Dancing On Ice star teases career move to ITV's Loose Women after show axe The Dancing on Ice star has been a familiar face on screens in the UK for many years now and is looking for a new gig Loose Women: Oti Mabuse discusses quitting Strictly A Dancing On ice star has hinted at her aspirations to secure a regular spot on another ITV programme following the cancellation of the reality show. Professional dancer Oti Mabuse, 34, first gained recognition in the UK when she joined the cast of BBC's Strictly Come Dancing in 2015. During her tenure on the talent show, she emerged victorious twice - first with soap star Kelvin Fletcher in 2019 and then with comedian Bill Bailey in 2020. After partnering with rugby player Ugo Monye in 2021, she left the show and moved to ITV to serve as a judge on Dancing On Ice in 2022. Article continues below However, last month saw the termination of the long-standing ice skating competition by ITV due to plummeting viewing figures, ending its intermittent 19-year run. Oti faced further disappointment when her other ITV project, The Masked Dancer, where she was a judge, was cancelled in 2024 after just two seasons. Oti made her debut as a panellist on Loose Women earlier this month (Image: ITV ) Real reason Stacey Solomon was crying in street after huge row with Joe Swash READ MORE: Despite these setbacks, the star has suggested that she is aiming for a new role on the network - as a regular panellist on the renowned lunchtime chat show, Loose Women. The current affairs discussion show boasts a panel that includes Denise Welch, Coleen Nolan, and Nadia Sawalha. Earlier this month, Oti made her first appearance as a guest panellist on the daytime programme, hinting at the possibility of more frequent appearances. In an interview with the Express, she expressed her desire to return to the show, reports the Mirror. The dancer shared with the publication: "That was amazing, it was really fun. I have to give it up to Ruth, Jayne and Denise because they were so lovely and we had so much fun, and they made me feel so welcome and at ease. "I was obviously nervous, but it was nice to be padded around by people who know what they're doing." Oti also confessed that being a panellist on the show was less nerve-wracking than appearing as a guest. Oti Mabuse was a familiar face on Strictly and Dancing on Ice (Image: ITV ) She elaborated: "I was less nervous as a panellist than I am as a guest because as a guest there's specific things that you have to say. Whereas a panellist, they just let you talk, and you discuss things and it's like sitting with your friends and having a coffee and just chatting away." Audiences felt a connection when Oti opened up about personal challenges including her brother's suicide, her departure from Strictly, and her body image issues. She disclosed: "I think being on Loose [Women], which is what is so amazing about it, is that everybody's got their independent life experiences. "And I shared mine and I'm very open about it and I think since the jungle that has helped me to just be me and not be afraid of just being honest and being genuine and being authentic. Those things did happen and I don't shy away from it. "They don't make me less than a person, if anything, I think I'm at a point in my life right now where I can address them and I know how to articulate and be sensitive because other people are going through the same thing, but it's also to raise awareness." ITV last month announced that the popular show Dancing On Ice will not return after its 17th season, which wrapped up early March. The series first hit the screens in 2006 and took a brief hiatus from 2015 before making a comeback in 2018. An ITV spokesperson commented: "Following another successful series earlier this year, Dancing On Ice will be rested in 2026 with no current plans for another series. "We would like to take this opportunity to thank all of the cast and crew who have worked on the show since 2006, and over the previous 17 series, for all of their hard work both on and off the ice."
