Hollyoaks bosses facing calls to axe star Parry Glasspool after he wielded a knife and joke about domestic violence in video

HOLLYOAKS bosses are facing calls to axe castmember Parry Glasspool after he shared a disturbing video in which he wielded a knife and appeared to mock domestic violence.

The actor sparked a fan backlash by posting the clip on his Instagram page, and many followers now want show bosses to cut him from the line-up.

Parry, 24, who plays Harry Thompson in the Channel 4 soap, hit headlines over weekend when he shared the creepy clip with his Instagram followers.

In the video, he is seen brandishing a knife and pretends to be a jealous girlfriend recording a viscous message for her other half.

He captioned the clip: "When girls try and hide their crazy…"

Parry is heard speaking in a high-pitched voice as he declares: "Babe, I don't mind you talking to other girls, okay? After watching, I wouldn't really mind. No, actually I would. No, joking babe, joking."

He went on to add: "I would kill you if you did! No, I wouldn't even know how to with this knife.

"Actually, I know exactly how to. I've done it before and I'd do it again, so don't even think about it!"

The clio infuriated his followers and prompted Parry to deactivate his social media accounts, and fans are now calling for him to be sacked from Hollyoaks.

Many took to Twitter to blast Parry over the video, insisting his actions were demeaning to victims of domestic violence.

One tweeted: "If Parry Glasspool isn't axed from oaks I don't know what they're thinking. HE TOOK THE P**S OUT IF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE!"

Another wrote: "@MrJNightingale @hollyoaksfannx @ParryGlasspool He deserves to be sacked for his 2nd offensive video not coddled like a child. #Hollyoaks."

A third follower added: "@ParryGlasspool Until you have been on the receiving end of domestic violence DON'T YOU DARE take the piss cause I've experienced with n ex..."

Several others demanded he should say sorry for his remarks, with one writing: "Parry Glasspool should post a public apology for his video

Another wrote: "Love Parry Glasspool & Harry but joking about domestic violence and holding a knife.. Not a good good..."

Some fans came to his defence, insisting Parry was just larking about by filming the clip.

One wrote in his defence: "Some people just don't have a sense of humor," and another added: "@ParryGlasspool - listen some people can't hack a guy with a sense of humour. You're amazing and have my support and love always xxxx."
