HOLLYOAKS star Chelsee Healey has appeared to reveal her boyfriend has been released from prison early.
Insiders told how he was expected to get an early release after he was jailed in June for his role in a ‘wholesale’ drug-dealing operation.
Now Eddie Rainford, who shares daughter Cookie with the soap star, has appeared in her latest video on TikTok.
The Hollyoaks and Waterloo Road star, 36, sang along to the song Never Knew Love Like This Before as Eddie smiled and danced behind her at their home.
The mum-of-two also mimed the lyrics: “Now I’m lonely never more, since you came into my life.”
She captioned the video: “Told him if he was my backing dancer I’d pay for the chippy tea.”

The Sun has contacted a rep for Chelsee for comment.
Eddie supplied large quantities of cannabis with co-accused Jay Boyd.
He was jailed for 24 months after he pleaded guilty to being concerned in the supply of a Class B drug between November 2022 and September 2023.
Chelsee had gone to Manchester Crown Court to watch his sentencing.

His plea came after she was eliminated from Dancing on Ice.
The Waterloo Road star had hinted that she was struggling following her exit from the hit ITV show.
She said: “There has been a lot going on with me that I have been struggling with.”
The court heard he and Boyd, 28, supplied “multi-kilos” of cannabis worth up to £45,000.
It was also revealed that Eddie had previously been sentenced to six years for violent offences while serving with Royal Marines but was released in July 2022.
Gwen Henshaw, prosecuting, described his latest crime as a “boutique” operation that involved selling various varieties of the drug, including “Cali weed”, “Oreo Cookies” and “Orange Cake”.
The pair had discussed drug deals, with police finding photos of large wads of cash.
Rainford also told a potential customer the drugs were “decent bro”.
Chelsee had kept his identity a secret when they began dating in 2021.
His first name was revealed following Cookie’s birth in December 2023 when he was seen in the background of photos from their baby shower.
Chelsee, who has another daughter Coco, previously told how their relationship was the “most supportive” she had ever been in.
She added: “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.”
In April, Chelsee returned to her role of Goldie McQueen in Hollyoaks after taking an extended break.
EARLY RELEASE
After the stress of the trial, reports at the time suggested Chelsee and Eddie had split.
But The Sun revealed last month that Chelsee – who plays Goldie McQueen on the Channel 4 soap Hollyoaks – was still very much with her baby daddy.
And he was expected to get an early release, which Chelsee can’t wait for – despite concern from her pals.
An insider told us: “Chelsee has stayed with Eddie since his sentencing.
“She vowed to stay by him for the sake of their daughter and she is really looking forward to their future together. It won’t be long until they are a happy family again.
“Chelsee feels like she will finally be able to move on with her life when he’s out.
“Not everyone is quite as excited though – she’s got her career to think of, so there is some concern amongst her friends about associating with him again, let alone being properly together.”
