Sacked Emmerdale star Asan NJies Twitter account has been removed in the wake of his public brawl with actor Jamie Lomas.

His timeline no longer appears when you search for his account, @AsanNjie, on the social media site.

It comes after he was axed from his role as Ellis Chapman on the soap following his fight with the Hollyoaks star at the TV Choice Awards.

Their clash was caught on camera, and Asan appears to make threats to knife Jamie, who plays Warren Fox, in the footage.

After initially being suspended, soap bosses made the decision to sack him with immediate effect.

A spokesperson for ITV said: Emmerdale suspended Asan NJie yesterday pending further investigation into an incident at a central London hotel on Monday night. ITV executives have met with him this morning and as a consequence Asans contract has been terminated with immediate effect.

Asan said in a statement: 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. I am devastated, accept full responsibility for my actions and I am determined to learn from this.

The actor was reportedly escorted from the premises of the Hilton Park Lane Hotel by security.

According to The Sun, he had made a sarcastic dig…completely unprovoked that enraged Jamie.

Ex-Hollyoaks actor Malique Thompson-Dwyer had to intervene and drag his former co-star away.

Asan joined Emmerdale last year and his character Ellis has been involved in a number of high profile storylines including a feud with his brother Billy, a stabbing during a night out and the arrival of his shady businessman dad Al.

He will not be facing police action over the incident as a spokesperson for Metropolitan Police confirmed to Metro.co.uk that the incident has not been reported to them.
