Paul Danan's Christmas lights meltdown that got him sacked from pantomime job The announcement of Paul Danan's death shocked the showbiz world as his management shared a touching tribute to the star.
In 2007, the former soap star was sacked from his lead pantomime role in Jack and the Beanstalk - in which he was playing Jack - when he swore at a crowd in Preston during a Christmas Lights switch-on.
I did not have my kids with me last night, but I was left feeling sick because of what he has said in front of an audience of children and families.
Following his comments, pantomime producer Viv Wells announced they sacked him from the shows.
He was invited to the event to promote his pantomime but instead, families left in disgust because of his comments.
