Row ... Emma and George had bust-up
outside restaurant

EastEnders star beats lover

RAGING EastEnders star Mohammed George was like a “wild animal”�”� before he was arrested on suspicion of belting his girlfriend, a shocked witness said yesterday.

The passer-by told how lover Emma Archibald was left sprawled on the pavement after the couple had a blazing row as they left a restaurant at 2.15am.

The witness said: “I couldn’t believe my eyes. Emma came out first and then Mohammed joined her. It looked like they were in the middle of a row and suddenly he flew into a rage.

“She was crying out in defence and he was like a wild animal.

“She ended up lying on the pavement and Mohammed ran off.

“He returned a few minutes later — and cops had already arrived. They took him off in a police car.”�”�

George, 24 — who plays street cleaner Gus in the BBC1 soap — was arrested on suspicion of hitting Emma in the face and body. He was taken to Kentish Town police station in North London accused of ABH. Last night he was on police bail after being freed.

The row erupted as he and Emma, 26 — mother of his 21-month-old daughter Olivia — left the trendy Gilgamesh restaurant in Camden.

Scotland Yard confirmed: “Police were called to a disturbance.

“Officers attended and arrested a 24-year-old man on suspicion of actual bodily harm on a 26-year-old woman. He was taken into custody at Kentish Town police station and later bailed to a date in January.”�”�

BLACK ANIMAL. DIRTY WHITE SLAG?

EastEnders executive producer Diederick Santer today suspended actor Mohammed George after he was cautioned by the police yesterday.

In December, the 24-year-old actor – who plays market sweeper Gus Smith – was arrested on suspicion of causing actual bodily harm after allegedly hitting lover Emma Archibald and leaving her lying on the pavement outside a Camden restaurant where they had been eating.

Yesterday, he was cautioned for common assault following an admission of the offence and an apology to Emma, daughter of former Tottenham and Barcelona footballer Steve Archibald.

An official BBC statement today read: "Diederick Santer has taken the decision to suspend Mohammed George with immediate effect for a period of two months.

"In addition Mohammed George would like to apologise to the BBC and its viewers for his actions that have brought EastEnders into disrepute."

It is unclear as to whether the actor is still in a relationship with Emma.

Skara Brae,

Much-loved daughter: Emma Archibald
as a young girl


Emma's father former Spurs and
Scotland striker Steve Archibald

How can I save my daughter from this vicious thug?

Nothing - not even winning the FA Cup twice - quite matches the feeling of becoming a father for the first time.

Former Spurs and Scotland striker Steve Archibald recalls being overwhelmed by his emotions when he cradled his newborn daughter, Emma, in the delivery room.

Twenty-seven years may have passed, but the intensity of that moment hasn't. "I remember being blown away by how precious and vulnerable she was," says Steve.

"From that moment, I knew the most important role I'd have would be to protect her. Any father would understand that. This child comes into your life and you know that the only important thing is to keep her safe."

Except that now Steve can't, and he knows it. The realisation is tearing him apart.


Because Emma Archibald now has another man in her life: one not quite so adamant that his role should be to protect her. Her boyfriend - and the father of her twoyearold daughter - is the EastEnders actor Mohammed George, who plays street cleaner Gus Smith.

Last week, Mohammed - known as Mo - pleaded guilty to common assault after attacking Emma in the street after a night out at a North London restaurant. Horrific images of him lashing out, leaving her lying on the ground, were recorded on CCTV.

The charges were brought by the police, not Emma. She vehemently denied that he had attempted to hurt her in any way and put the matter down to a misunderstanding. Incredibly, she was even due to appear in court as a witness for the defence.

At the last minute, however, George changed his plea to guilty and escaped with a caution.

Ever since 24-year-old George's arrest, Steve Archibald had tried, unsuccessfully, to explain to Emma the dangers of supporting him in court. Steve knew - and his daughter had confessed to him herself - that this was not the first time Mo had physically assaulted her.

In fact, Steve is convinced that his daughter has been the victim of sustained domestic abuse. He is understandably devastated.

"She's told me herself how he has dragged her across the room by her hair," he says. "Emma's mother has had to intervene more than once after he had attacked her.

"She even took Emma to the police station once because of the bruises on her. Emma made a statement telling the police everything, but at the last minute she refused to sign it.

"And now this. On the night he was arrested, he tipped rubbish over her head. You wouldn't treat a dog like that. It shows exactly what he thinks of her; with what contempt he regards her."

All of which is upsetting enough. What is devastating Steve now is that Emma is blaming herself for the problems in the relationship.

"She's in denial. It's a classic case of domestic violence. He beats her up - and she makes excuses for him. I wouldn't have believed it if it wasn't my daughter I was talking about.

"I've tried to talk to Emma, and I've explained to her the danger in this relationship. She won't have any of it. I don't know if it's because she loves him, is afraid of him, or thinks she can change him, or simply because of the baby.

"I just don't understand it. Emma isn't like this. She isn't weak: she has a strong character. That might sound strange in the circumstances, but I know my daughter and I can't believe she would allow this to happen."

Steve, regarded as one of the finest players of his generation and who now lives in Spain, has thought long and hard about speaking out. He is doing so only as a last resort, and he does not risk his entire relationship with his daughter lightly.

"I've cried buckets over this - but always in private," he says. "I don't want others to see how hurt I am by this"


He knows that Emma will be incandescent with rage, and that she may never speak to him again. "But what choice do I have?" he says. "My heart and soul are deeply wounded.

"I can't just pick my daughter up, pat her on the back and say that everything will be OK. She hasn't just fallen over and grazed her knee.

"I can do nothing, just go along with this horrid situation, sitting at home waiting for the phone call that tells me she is in hospital, or worse.

"My overriding feeling is one of fear. Fear of losing Emma; fear of bringing more problems into her life; fear of doing nothing, of doing something and of doing the wrong thing.

"If I don't speak out, I would never forgive myself if something did happen to her. If I do, I risk losing her for ever - but that may be the price to be paid for knowing she is safe. I really hope with all my heart that it won't be."

As a professional footballer in the 1970s, 80s and 90s, Steve thrived in an often violent man's world.

He knows all about physical aggression - or he thought he did.

"Violence against a woman is something I just don't understand," he admits. "In this case, it's gratuitous violence against my daughter."

He especially doesn't know how to conduct himself as the father of a domestic violence victim.

He tries to maintain a dignified stance during this interview, but his anger is barely concealed. He cannot even bring himself to utter Mo George's name.

"For a while, I was nearly swept away by that instinct for revenge," he says. "I talked it through with a friend, who convinced me that it wouldn't solve anything and might put my daughter in more danger.

"I talked to Emma myself - but the more I did, the more frustrating it became.

"After seeing a newspaper article from Women's Aid regarding violence against women, I called them asking their advice. I knew I wouldn't be the only father in this position, even though at times it has felt that way."

When he and his wife divorced, Emma was just eight years old. A bitter custody battle ensued and Emma demanded to live with her father.

Steve says that they still have a close relationship, even if they have long been geographically distant.

"We've had our problems over the years - but what family hasn't? When she was 17 or 18, Emma didn't speak to me for ages because she thought I was being too controlling. I wanted her to, among other things, continue Spanish lessons and learn to drive."

"We had many discussions over what she should do with her life. She's wonderfully bright, with a bubbly outgoing personality. At one point, she thought - and I agreed - that maybe a career as a Sky Sports TV presenter would be an option. She could be the next Kirsty Gallacher."

That difficult period passed, but a decade on, clearly something more worrying has come between 50-year- old Steve and his eldest child.

Although he had known about her previous boyfriends, Steve for some time was not aware that Emma had a new man in her life - never mind one well-known to millions of TV viewers.

"I didn't think that much of that at the time. I knew all about her last boyfriend, but not this one."

Nor, says Steve, was Mo George quite the young man his fans thought he was. His EastEnders character - street cleaner Gus - is a gentle, timid sort, a thoroughly decent guy.

On the official EastEnders website, George said: "We both write poetry and both believe in making girlfriends feel special." It is something hat makes Steve angry.

"There was one scene in EastEnders where he actually used the words: 'You don't hit a woman.' I thought: 'You b*****d.'"

Steve doesn't know how his daughter and Mo George first met, but for the first year there was no evidence of any violence in the relationship. But that was to change following an astonishing turn of events.

In March 2005, Emma fell ill with what she thought were crippling stomach pains. Within hours, she had given birth to a 5lb 14oz baby girl. She claims she had no idea that she was pregnant.

George did not find out he was a father until two days after the event, because - according to a downmarket newspaper - he had been enjoying the company of another woman and had his mobile turned off.

He was clearly not thrilled at the news. Later, when the couple allegedly separated for a time, he admitted he had been horrified.

A row seems to have erupted at Emma's hospital bedside. Her father claims that staff had to throw Mo George out because of his aggressive behaviour - although he only found this out long after the event.

After this amazing turn of events, did Steve suspect that his daughter was in too deep?

"I was so amazed, surprised and preoccupied by the fact that Emma was a mother, that everything went on the back burner."

Indeed, with not even a nappy bought for the new arrival, the family was thrown into turmoil.

In all the questions he was asking from his home in Spain, it never once occurred to Steve to ask if his daughter was safe with this man.

The first he knew about the abuse was almost two years later when George was arrested after the fracas outside the restaurant in North London.

"I was upset and angry, but confused. I called Emma. She didn't take my calls at first, and when she did she tried to laugh it off. She was in complete denial - so much so that it was farcical. She said it was all her fault; that she'd fallen over, bumping into him as she fell, and had broken her finger.

"She tried to bluff her way out of it, and every time I argued she'd say: 'Dad, you've got it all wrong. Everything's fine.'"

Steve, however, had already talked to Emma's mother, who had filled him in on a devastating catalogue of similar incidents. He had listened in horror as she admitted that this abuse had been going on since little Olivia was born.

The Mail has spoken to another source close to the family who confirms they witnessed tempestuous scenes.

On one occasion, Emma allegedly called her mother in hysterics, asking her to pick her and the baby up. Emma said George had been punching and kicking her, and had eventually thrown her out.

"It was freezing cold and Emma was in a frenzy. She was out in the street with no shoes on. She had to go to a neighbour's house and use the phone to call her mum.

"She was standing in the street shouting up at him to at least throw down a coat for the baby. He wouldn't."

On another occasion, when Emma was feeding the baby in her mother's home, George appeared and started running around the house, collecting the baby's toys and equipment.

"He was like a madman," says Steve. "Emma didn't know what he was going to do. She threw a mobile phone at him in a vain attempt to try to stop him."

What is clear is that the family was concerned enough to keep a diary of incidents. On one occasion in September 2005, Emma's mother was so horrified by the vivid bruises on her daughter's arms and back that she took her to the police to make a complaint.

Only after Emma had given a full statement did she tell the police she wasn't prepared to sign it - or testify against George.

Just before this trip to the police station, George gave an interview in which he claimed he was bringing up Olivia single-handed, after he and Emma had split up. Her family claim this was not true and that Emma was actually living in his flat at the time of the interview.

Steve admits that he is exasperated. He says Emma is an "outstanding mother" but also that he has been angry with her.

"I said to Emma: 'You must try to understand that by allowing him to mistreat you in this way, you are giving him permission to treat you worse than a dog. He is showing you a complete and utter lack of respect.'"

"She wouldn't have any of it, though. But I'm not going to stop talking to her. My role as a father is to support her and try to help her see that how she is being treated is not OK. In fact, it's very far from OK.

"The point of speaking out is not to harm George, his career, or even his relationship with my daughter - he's already jeopardised that very ably himself.

"Emma's safety, well-being and future is my prime concern. She has to look in the mirror and realise that she is a beautiful, intelligent young woman who could have any future she puts her mind to. She should not let anyone strip that away from her. She's also such a caring, loving mother to Olivia.

"But it's not just Emma who is being affected. The whole family is feeling the stressy. We all love her, and always will. But it has not been easy for them to sit by; they are not that way."

Having spoken to the police and Women's Aid, Steve finally wrote to Mark Thompson, director general of the BBC, and Chitra Bharucha, acting chairman of the board at the BBC - appalled that that they would employ a person like George.

It took more than a month for Mr Thompson to reply, saying that it would be "inappropriate" for the BBC to comment on an artist's private life.

"The BBC has a responsibility to send a strong message that this sort of thing will not be tolerated," says Steve. "They are a publicly-funded organisation. He is a public figure. They have a duty to condemn domestic violence in the strongest way possible.

"They call it name and shame, I believe. It's not something I ever wanted to get dragged into, but maybe by doing this interview the message might just get through to him. I don't want to hurt him or my daughter: I'm just doing this to protect her."

As soon as last week's verdict was announced, EastEnders did in fact suspend the actor for two months, claiming he had brought the programme into disrepute.

How his career will be affected in the longer term is unclear, but the pressure is on. Steve isn't convinced by this "slap on the wrist" and will not let the matter drop.

He is continuing to talk, too, to Women's Aid about the possibility of setting up some sort of dedicated support line for the families and friends of women in an abusive relationship.

"I am very grateful to them, they've been very helpful," he says. "But now all I can do is be there for Emma and help her in any way that I can."

But the real person who needs to grasp his message is Emma - and she shows no sign of doing so.

We put the allegations to Mr George but he did not respond.

Pity he didn't teach her to date only within her own human species and protect her from savage jaboons. No doubt she will end up being kilt by one of her pets or the drugz dey use. If her father really loved her he would have beat her sensless himself for being a BCL and wot she durn'.
