Ponte allegedly stole a can of beer at around midnight on May 17, 2019, after the shop had stopped selling alcohol.

Wood Green Crown Court heard Ponte then told a South Asian worker: "You bloody Indians. Go back to where you came from. You're not wanted here."

A trial date was set for March 28 next year with none of the trio in court today.

Gallagher, Starkey, and Ponte are charged with affray, while Gallagher and Ponte are also accused of racially aggravated assault.

Ponte is also charged with theft and assault by beating, while Starkey is facing two charges of assault by beating two Tesco workers.

Gene is the son of the former Oasis frontman and All Saints star Nicole Appleton.

While Starkey is the grandson of former Beatles drummer Starr.
