Following the fight The Mirror has claimed that Asan threatened to "knife" Jamie shortly before they were both pulled apart by security at the event. As a result the 25-year-old actor has been sacked from his role as Ellis Chapman.

An ITV spokesperson confirmed the news, saying: "Emmerdale suspended Asan N'Jie pending further investigation into an incident at a central London hotel on Monday night.

"ITV executives have met with him and as a consequence Asan's contract has been terminated with immediate effect."

Asan has since released a statement apologising for his behaviour, he explained: "My behaviour at the TV Choice Awards was completely unacceptable.

"I sincerely apologise to everybody who has been affected especially Jamie Lomas, the whole Emmerdale team, our audience, ITV, my family, and the organisers of the TV Choice Awards.

"I am devastated, accept full responsibility for my actions and I am determined to learn from this."

Asan first joined Emmerdale in September 2018 as Jessie Grant's son Ellis.

Earlier this year Ellis was involved in a knife crime storyline that saw him become a victim after newbies Kaiden and Tyler stabbed him.

Speaking about being part of the storyline, Asan said: "It's a blessing really. I'm extremely grateful to the writers and the producers at Emmerdale for trusting me with this.

"They've put their faith in me to be able to deliver this storyline. To share it with Jay has been fun and really interesting."
