The 30-year-old Emmerdale star shared the good news on social media and posted a number of images of him and girlfriend Kirsty cradling their young son.
An Emmerdale actor, 30, who was part of the soap’s cast from September 2018 until October 2019, has shared joyous news after welcoming a baby into his life. However, Asan N’Jie is known for being axed from the show following an altercation where he threatened to stab Hollyoaks star Jamie Lomas at the 2019 TV Choice Awards.
Asan, who is now attempting to become a father, shared the birth of his son on social media. The excited new dad shared sweet photos with his wife Kirsty and their son, Leo-Mekailu, on Facebook.
Congratulations were flooded in from followers, one fan even saying, “Huge congrats to you both”! Amy Walsh, a former model for Emmerdale, reacted with awestruck delight, saying, “Awww, babe, this news is gorgeous.”
The pregnancy was only made public last month when Asan hinted at the exciting future arrival on Instagram, writing: “Can’t wait to meet Liccle baby boy.”
Asan’s stint as Ellis Chapman in Emmerdale had a controversial end when he was caught threatening Jamie Lomas with violence during the awards ceremony in 2019, purportedly saying, “Do you think you are a f***ing big man? I’m going to f***ing kill you,” followed by, “I’m going to f***ing knife you.”
Asan allegedly made offensive remarks toward Kym Marsh’s ex-husband at the beginning of the conflict.
Post-incident, Asan’s contract was terminated swiftly, and another actor stepped into the role of Ellis. It was reported that the conflict started with a “completely unprovoked” insult thrown at Jamie by Asan, who later expressed remorse over the incident, commenting: “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 entire Emmerdale crew, our viewers, ITV, my family, and the organisers of the TV Choice Awards.”
Asan continued to appear in scenes from Emmerdale that he had already filmed as his character Ellis Chapman despite being fired at the time.
As a result, soap executives said Ellis would be on screen for another six weeks because it would be “virtually impossible” to cut out his character from the upcoming storylines without reversing episodes.
In the Shepard Christmas movie in 2023, Asann and John Travolta co-starred. The movie is based on Frederick Forsyth’s novel, which follows a fighter pilot who gets lost on Christmas Eve when they get home.
Asan has since appeared in BBC1’s Bloodlands alongside James Nesbitt and BBC2’s Industry despite leaving Emmerdale on unfavorable terms.
