Emmerdale star fired over old tweetsShila Iqbal says she's 'terribly sorry' for using offensive language online six years ago. Moral of the story : The past always catches with you. “as a Muslim my Emmerdale role means that I am 'committing sinful acts, promoting sin and deliberately going against the Quran'.“ Why? Is she banging Mr Wilks? Thought of a great headline if any papers would like to use it : 'POC in racist N word shocker'.

Emmerdale actor sacked from ITV soap over offensive tweetsShila Iqbal, who played Aiesha Richards, apologises for social media posts made in 2013 Beware your tweets will find you out. One day I’m going to get seriously sued by Piers Morgan for a tweet I made about him and a performer on BGT some years back. Someone not white being racist!? But that's unpossible, isn't it? Your paper regularly tells me that only whites can be racist.. Say it ain't so! It must have been the result of living in such an oppressive and immoral European society that pushed her over the edge. This happened to a colleague of mine at work. Tweets he made back in 2010 that were deemed offensive led to him being dismissed from his job. He was actually a really nice bloke and it was such a shame.
