Asan was removed from the show after an explosive altercation at the 2019 ITV Choice Awards, where he threatened to stab Jamie Lomas. His shocking statement was caught on camera, where he was heard saying that he was going to kill him with a knife.

After insulting Jamie so badly, he later came forward to apologise for his actions. He admitted that his behaviour at ITV wasn’t acceptable and expressed regret for that. He apologised not only to Jamie but also to the Emmerdale team, ITV, his fans, organisers of TV choice awards.
While his past is a part of his life, he has stepped into a new phase of life and now seems focused on his family. Will this new chapter help him redefine his story? Share your thoughts in the comments. Stay tuned to Soap Opera Daily for more Emmerdale updates!
