Paul Danan reveals ‘sadness’ at drunk Sarah Harding after spending ‘hours’ trying to keep her sober

PAUL Danan has revealed on Loose Women his “sadness” at not being able to help Sarah Harding stop drinking in the Celebrity Big Brother house.

The former housemate, 39, who doesn’t drink after years of battling addiction says 35-year-old Sarah “changes” when she’s had a drink.

He explained: “With Sarah I felt I could see a lot of her in me or me in her, and her in the situation I was in.

“She’s a gorgeous person but she changes when she has a drink and that’s sad.”

He went on to claim that he dedicated a lot of time to trying to help her but to no avail.

Paul continued: “And I gave her so much advice and help and so did Derek and people like that.

“And then they take it on board for a second and then they want a hug and they’re crying, and you’re like, ‘Come on, you can be the Sarah Harding you know you can be.’

“Then the next minute, as soon as it comes out they run to that store room and the conversation, the hours of talks are done.”

The ex-Hollyoaks star said he coped with the fact there was so much alcohol in the house by talking to Big Brother and drinking Ribena.

Paul may have tried to be kind about Sarah today, but last night he blasted her antics with Chad Johnson in the house.

The former Hollyoaks and Celebrity Love Island star also delivered a blistering one-liner about what the pair were up to in the camera-less loos over the weekend.

He said: "Sarah getting laid in the toilets is not a good look," adding that he "100 per cent" thinks the singer romped with US star Chad out of sight.

He later added: "I just think that they need to spend more time with the housemates instead of being on top of each other."
