Former Emmerdale actor Danny Miller was filmed being knocked to the ground after becoming embroiled in a nasty brawl with a nightclub bouncer.
The I'm A Celebrity winner, 31, had been enjoying a night out in Skegness' The Hive when the evening turned ugly over another guest's "disturbing" homophobic remarks.
Those who had seen the brawl take place said the actor had been defending a friend who had been hit with "disturbing" homophobic abuse.
Security staff at the venue are believed to have been "unaware" over the circumstances of the dispute when they intervened.

"I don't know if [Miller] was injured. It was a hard slam against the wall though, and he did seem to hit his head," he said.
The Mirror has reached out to Danny's reps for comment.
Danny had not appeared in Australia to hand over his crown to Jill and had instead been in the seaside town for a meet and greet.
The day after her win, Danny had taken to Instagram on Monday to congratulate her, writing: "Congratulations @jillscottjs8! What a worthy winner. You had the votes in our household."
