[QUOTE="Englishboy, post: 180988, member: 70"] [URL]https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/newsbeat-49659984[/URL] Former Emmerdale actor Asan N'Jie says he is "devastated" after being fired from the soap, following a clash with a Hollyoaks star at an award ceremony. Asan swore and threw punches at Jamie Lomas after the TV Choice Awards, held in London on Monday night. "ITV executives have met with him this morning and as a consequence Asan's contract has been terminated with immediate effect," says a spokeswoman. Asan claims his behaviour was "out of character." "My behaviour at the TV Choice Awards was completely unacceptable," the actor says in a statement. "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." The Mirror claims Asan [URL='https://www.mirror.co.uk/3am/celebrity-news/emmerdales-asan-njie-held-back-19987842']threatened to "knife"[/URL] Jamie during the encounter and says the pair were pulled apart by security staff. In August, Asan tweeted that he was [URL='https://twitter.com/AsanNjie/status/1159109428509065216?s=20']"grateful for the opportunity flying my way"[/URL] when his nomination for Best Newcomer was announced. Asan was nominated as Best Soap Newcomer at the awards, but lost out to Kara-Leah Fernandes, who plays Bailey Baker in EastEnders, Jamie wasn't nominated. Neither actor has commented since the incident took place. [/QUOTE]
