Emmerdale star Luke Tittensor has been sacked from the ITV show, after he pleaded guilty to attacking a teenager.

The 19-year-old, who plays Daz Eden in the soap, appeared in court in March and admitted inflicting grievous bodily harm on a 16-year-old.

An ITV spokeswoman said the actor had been told his contract was being terminated because "we cannot condone criminal behaviour."

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

Tittensor appeared at Bolton Crown Court where he pleaded guilty to fracturing the teenager's jaw.

He is due to be sentenced on 29 April.

The court heard how the boy had been left badly injured and needed surgery after the attack.

Tittensor has been in the cast of the soap since he was 13 and his last episode will be broadcast on Friday.

I bet he regrets it! He should have thought about the consequences before he acted like a thug. Or was it not acting?

The could always hire his twin brother (the guy in Shameless)

Should have thought of the consequences.

Hes a good Character though, maybe they will replace him with his twin.

He's a stupid lad but Emmerdale made the right decision he had to go. Maybe once he has served his sentence either it be in prison or community service he will sort himself out and get back into acting.

He will know that now. It's a shame he has screwed up his acting career because his acting was alright he wasn't wooden like some young soapstars. The best he can do is take his punishment and once that is over with if he is still interested in acting hopefully he can get back into it.

I wondered why he had such a quick exit
