Ceon Broughton, boyfriend of Louella Fletcher-Michie, has pleaded not guilty to manslaughter following the models death.
Louella was found dead on September 11 2017, after attending Bestival music festival. She had taken psychedelic party drug 2CP at the event.
Louellas father John Michie played Karl Munro in Coronation Street and Guy Self in Holby City.
According to the Bournemouth Echo Ceon also denied three additional charges of supplying 2CP to Louella at the festival and to her and another person at Glastonbury in 2017. He has been released on unconditional bail before the start of a trial which will begin on February 4 2019.
In a statement released through Michies agent shortly after his daughters death last year, the family said: Our hearts are broken by this horrific tragedy. Louella inspired all who knew her with her joy of life. The family would like to thank everyone for their heartfelt tributes and messages.
John recently became an ambassador for The Good Grief Project, an organisation which was set up to understand grief as a creative and active process.

When your child dies it is devastating for the family, and in many cases affects people for the rest of their lives, John has previously said. It is for this reason I am honoured to become an Ambassador for this vital and worthy charity.
Michie, 61, and his wife Carol – a former Hot Gossip singer – have two other children, Daisy and Sam.
