The court heard that the argument kicked off after Andrew's partner Rosalind O'Neill commented "I hope they are using protection" about Mark's daughter who reportedly had been "straddling" a boy.

Andrew gave evidence over the alleged attack and reportedly wiped away tears while he reflected on the "frightening" incident.

"He said, 'That’s my f-cking daughter you are talking about'."

Andrew went on to claim that Mark bit his thumb, the palm of his hand and after spitting out a chunk of skin, they fell to the floor with the Emmerdale star biting the OAP's eyebrow.

Mark was supported by his co-stars Nick Miles, aka Jimmy King, Chris Chittell, who is known as Eric Pollard in the village, Sammy Winward, who played Katie Sugden and his girlfriend Laura Norton aka Kerry Wyatt.

They all sat in the public gallery throughout the hearing and Mark has denied affray, unlawfully wounding Andrew and the assault by beating of Rosalind.
