Asan, whose character Ellis Chapman has been involved in a knife attack storyline, yelled: “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.”

Presenter Lorraine, who won an Outstanding Achievement Award at the star-studded ceremony, had her say on the "fracas" between the soap stars.
