Hollyoaks actor: "I'm fine" after attack

A Hollyoaks actor who was attacked in Leicester Square after a night out has told ITV News London that he's "fine" and is demanding an apology from the person who hit him.

Thomas Scurr was left with a broken cheek and a fractured eye socket after "a nasty and completely unprovoked attack", police have said.

The Hollyoaks actor, who plays Barney Harper-McBride in the Channel 4 soap, was assaulted as he walked through London's Leicester Square with fellow actor James Conway.

Scotland Yard said the pair were crossing the square when they were approached by the attacker who was with a woman with shoulder length brown hair.

The offender, described as white, 6ft tall and stocky, launched the unprovoked attack after the two celebrities posed for photographs with fans.
