OAP says he was BITTEN three times including once in the face by Emmerdale’s Mark Jordan after pub row turns vicious
Andy Potts, 67, alleged that the actor also chomped on his thumb and hand during the row
A MAN of 67 claims he was bitten three times by Emmerdale star Mark Jordon after a pub row — including once in the face.
Andy Potts alleged that the actor also chomped on his thumb and hand.
The Sun on Sunday told in July how Jordon, who plays Daz Spencer, had been arrested and released on bail.
But he is yet to be charged.
Speaking for the first time about the flare-up, Andy said he was still having counselling and has not resumed his delivery driver job due to his injuries.
He has had two ops.
Andy said: “Jordon was like a wild animal. He bit my hand. Then he went for my thumb.
He took no notice of my screams — he just bit me above my left eye."
Andy and his girlfriend were at The Farrars Arms in Oldham, Greater Manchester, on Sunday, July 1.
Jordon, 53, had been watching Russia beat Spain in a World Cup penalty shoot-out with co-star Laura Norton, 52, family and friends.
The alleged incident took place after a row in the pub
Father-of-two Andy said he shouted “Emmerdale” and made a joke about his daughter kissing her boyfriend in the pub.
He went on: “There was a scuffle. We walked out and he came after us in a taxi. He threw a £5 at the driver and then stood in the street shouting.

“He pushed my girlfriend and then I kicked him. But he didn’t flinch and went for me instead.
“Thankfully an off-duty policeman saw it and dragged him off.”
Jordon, who also played PC Phil Bellamy in Heartbeat, declined to comment when approached at the time.
Cops said inquiries continued.
