Monday night’s TV Choice Awards descended into chaos as Emmerdale star Asan N’jie threatened to kill Hollyoaks actor Jamie Lomas during a vicious brawl.
In a video obtained by The Mirror Asan can be seen throwing a punch at Jamie, 44, during an explosive fight in front of shocked onlookers, including fellow celebrities who were forced to dodge out of the way of the expletive-filled exchange.
Asan, who has been involved in a knife attack storyline in ITV’s Emmerdale, could be heard shouting: ‘Do you think you are a f*****g big man? I’m going to f*****g kill you. I’m going to f*****g knife you,’ before attempting to take a physical swipe at Jamie.

After the Emmerdale actor threw the punch, I’m A Celebrity’s Malique Thompson-Dwyer ran into the room to intervene and bundle Jamie out.
According to reports, the pair had to be pulled apart by security twice at the Hilton Park Lane hotel in Mayfair, London, with Asan eventually being escorted off the premises by security staff at around 11pm.
Asan left with co-star Jay Kontzle and another woman while Jamie stayed at the hotel until 2am drinking with Love Island star Amber Gill and Malique.
Asan – who plays Ellis Grant in Emmerdale – is now being investigated by ITV bosses after appearing to spark the fracas with goading remarks.
One onlooker told The Sun: ‘Jamie was enraged by the sarcastic dig which seemed to come out of nowhere and was completely unprovoked.
