Emmerdale Star Asan N’Jie Fired From Soap After TV Choice Awards Altercation With Jamie Lomas

They told The Sun: “Emmerdale suspended Asan N’Jie 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 Asan’s contract has been terminated with immediate effect.”

In a statement, Asan – who played Ellis Chapman on the soap – said his behaviour had been “unacceptable” and offered an apology to Jamie, as well as his Emmerdale co-stars and the show’s viewers.

“My behaviour at the TV Choice Awards was completely unacceptable and very much out of character,” he said. 

“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.”
