Emmerdale's Luke Tittensor axed


Emmerdale's Luke Tittensor has been axed from the soap after he pleaded guilty to GBH charges last month.

Luke, 19, who plays Daz Eden in the ITV1 show, is due to be sentenced next week after he admitted punching a 16-year-old and shattering his jaw in a brawl in Rochdale, Greater Manchester.

An ITV spokesperson said: "As Luke has pleaded guilty to the serious charge of GBH and we cannot condone criminal behaviour, we have met with Luke and his agent to explain that his contract with Emmerdale will be terminated."

They added: "Luke regrets his behaviour and understands this situation."

The Mancunian actor started his TV career sharing the role of Carl Gallagher with twin brother Elliott in Channel 4's Shameless before joining Emmerdale, aged 13, in 2003.

His character, farmhand Daz, was initially written out temporarily, but will now be seen on screen for the last time on Friday when his half-brother Andy throws him out after discovering his ongoing affair with his adoptive sister Victoria.

Good on the makers of Emmerdale.

Let's hope this will be a lesson for other young thugs. Perhaps if more of them were to lose their jobs it would be more of a deterrent than 'community service'.

Well said, Jean.

Perhaps he'll be wise enough to put this down to experience (being tactful here), and make sure he never does anything as foolish again.

They could always employ his identical twin brother Elliott
