SOAP actor Paul Brannigan appeared in court today charged with repeatedly stabbing his brother on New Year’s Day.

The Bafta-winning Angels’ Share star is accused of assaulting David Brannigan, 29, to his severe injury and permanent disfigurement in Calton, Glasgow.

Brannigan, 33, faced the charge during a private hearing at Glasgow Sheriff Court.

The actor — who starred in BBC soap River City — made no plea or declaration and was released on bail.

Dad-of-one Brannigan shot to fame in 2012 after playing Robbie in Ken Loach’s hit film The Angel’s Share.

In 2015, he romped with Hollywood beauty Scarlett Johansson for a steamy scene in sci-fi flick Under the Skin — and revealed he was a bag of nerves before filming it.

He also starred in Sunshine on Leith and played Gareth O’Connor in telly soap River City.
