Axed Emmerdale star Asan N'Jie 's vile historic tweets have been exposed.
The actor has been sacked from the ITV soap following a shocking altercation with Jamie Lomas at this week's TV Choice Awards.
N'Jie threatened to "knife" and "kill" the Hollyoaks actor and threw a punch at him as he was held back.
Emmerdale bosses had no choice but to let him go, and now, vile tweets from his past have resurfaced.
N'Jie used homophobic slurs, called Coronation Street character Gail Platt a "s**g" and retweeted a joke about misogynistic violence.
The 25-year-old, who just joined the soap last year, sent a string of shocking tweets when he was an 18-year-old student.
One sent in January 2012 sees him brand his friends "p***y p***s" for using sunbeds.
In February 2012, he tweeted about Helen Worth's Corrie character, calling her a "s**g".
N'Jie also once retweeted a post from someone else that included a violent joke about hitting a women.
It said: "'mum, how long is dinner going to be?' 'as long as it takes.' B***h is going to get a slap if she carries on with the sarcasm!"
Earlier today, N'Jie was fired from Emmerdale and escorted off the set following his outburst at Lomas on Monday night.
In the Mirror's exclusive footage, N'Jie was seen being held back as he shouted vile threats at Hollyoaks star Lomas, saying he was going to "knife" and "kill" him.
He was also seen throwing a punch at Lomas before being escorted away from the awards bash by security.
An ITV spokesman told Mirror Online: "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."
Asan himself said in a grovelling 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."
Mirror Online has contacted N'Jie's representatives for comment.
