Chelsee Healey’s baby daughter’s father is a convicted drug dealer facing 14 years in jail after pleading guilty to supplying Class B drugs, the Sun reports.

The Dancing On Ice star, 36, has attempted to keep his full idenтιтy hidden on social media, only referring to her now ex-partner – who is dad of her 15-month-old daughter Cookie – as Eddie.

However, the publication has claimed that his full name is Eddie Rainford, 31, who they allege is currently on remand at Forest Bank Prison in Greater Manchester.

Eddie has pleaded guilty to supplying Class B drugs during a court appearance on January 23 – with the plea coming just four days after Chelsee was eliminated from the ITV skating show. 

The actress even hinted at a troubling time away from the cameras during her exit from Dancing On Ice, remarking: ‘There has been a lot going on with me that I have been struggling with.’

A source told the newspaper: ‘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.’

While a separate insider informed the publication that the soap star was no longer in a relationship with Eddie.

If convicted, Eddie could apparently face up to 14 years in jail.

MailOnline have contacted representatives of Chelsee for comment. 

In March last year, Chelsee dropped a huge hint that they had secretly got married.

The Hollyoaks star made reference to having a ‘husband’ as she shared a snap of a meal that had been cooked for her. 

She shared the picture of the plate of food and wrote: ‘Sticky chilli steak coconut rice home made by the husband.’ 

The actress – who plays Goldie McQueen on the Channel 4 soap – made no further elaboration of her comment.

Chelsee’s ex-partner was pictured for the first time after her co-star shared a snap – after she had previously kept the idenтιтy of her man under wraps.

However, her Hollyoaks co-star Richard Blackwood gave the game away as he shared a series of snaps from Chelsee’s baby shower – with one of them including Chelsea cuddling up to Eddie. 

Weeks before she’d given birth, Chelsee shared a picture of herself with Eddie, but she was posed in front of him, shielding his idenтιтy. 

Chelsee has since happily shown Eddie’s face on her social media, with a snap on her Instagram showing herself and Eddie in matching cream outfits while holding their baby daughter Cookie – whom they welcomed in December 2023.

Speaking about her decision not to publicly disclose the baby’s father in summer she told Closer Magazine: ‘This is the most supportive relationship I’ve ever been in.

‘My friends and family love him, and he’s the first bloke I’ve introduced Coco to, which says a lot.

‘I knew he was The One within three to four months. I’ve kissed a few frogs, but he’s definitely marriage material.’

She added: ‘In some past relationships I’ve never felt safe, they felt toxic and a little bit abusive, but with him it’s completely different. I just want someone who brings me peace and is drama-free and this feels right. He’s six years younger but has a mature head on his shoulders.’ 

Chelsee also has an older daughter Coco, seven, from her relationship with ex Jack Malloy.

Earlier this year, Chelsee heartbreakingly revealed she suffered a miscarriage during her time on Dancing On Ice.

The former Waterloo Road star was the first celebrity to be eliminated from the programme after being voted off in a skate-off against Comedian Josh Jones.

After her time on the compeтιтion came to an end, Chelsee made the brave decision to share what she was going through on Instagram, in a lengthy post in January.

Alongside a picture with her daughters Cookie and Coco, the soap star admitted she hasn’t been able to speak about the devastating loss until now, because it’s been ‘too painful’.

Chelsee wrote: ‘I want to start by saying thank you to everyone of you for your support during DOI and especially my family, To ITV and my skate partner Andy.

‘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.’

She recalled: ‘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.’

The star bravely continued: ‘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.

‘I thought I could just carry on but anyone who knows me, knew I wasn’t right. Some feelings you can park, put in a box and move on. This hurts differently and I can’t just move on, not yet anyway. 

‘I think that my little baby deserves to be honoured by me allowing myself to feel all the emotions, all the sadness for what will not be. There is no shame in that.’

She ended the post with: ‘For any woman going through something similar. I am truly sorry for your loss and I hope you are allowed to express and feel your emotions. I hope you find your way through this. Our heavenly children deserve a place in our hearts.

‘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.’

Friends and family rushed to the comments section to offer their support for the star during the difficult time.
