A Coronation Street star sacked from the soap for "racially offensive" tweets has apologised for using "unacceptable" language about Indian people.
Marc Anwar, who plays Sharif Nazir in the show, was dismissed by ITV after the Sunday Mirror published screenshots from his account where he allegedly referred to Indian people as "b*******" and "p***-drinking c****".
In a video apology, the Pakistan-born actor said he had not intended to cause offence in his tweets about the disputed Kashmir region.
Anwar explained: "I would like to offer my sincerest apologies to anyone that I may have offended with my tweets on Friday evening and especially people from India.
