Following Emmerdale’s decision to axe the actor, Asan released a statement, which said: ‘My behaviour at the TV Choice Awards was completely unacceptable and very much out of character.
‘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.
In late 2019, Asan was immediately dismissed from his Emmerdale duties following a fight with Jamie Lomas, who played Warren Fox in Hollyoaks.
Former Emmerdale star Asan N’Jie has announced his girlfriend’s pregnancy, five years on from his soap axing.
A number of his former co-stars rushed to the comments section to send their congratulations, with April Windsor star Amelia Flanagan writing: ‘Congrats Asan, so happy for you.’.
