Lysette Anthony quits Twitter amid racism row

Lysette Anthony has quit Twitter amid \'Hollyoaks\' racism row.

The 56-year-old actress - who plays Marnie Nightingale in the Channel 4 soap - has opted to delete her profile on the micro-blogging platform following high-profile disagreements with former co-stars Rachel Adedeji and Charlie Clapham.

Lysette was recently described as "actual trash" by Rachel.

The criticism came after WhatsApp messages appeared to show the actress bemoaning the on-set "traitors" who supported Rachel\'s claims of racism.

According to the messages tweeted out by Charlie, Lysette allegedly said: "Sorry but we\'re not going to have a job to come back to if this stuff keeps being disseminated."

Charlie shared the messages and wrote: "Dear @chezLysette if supporting a former castmate, whilst she speaks of being racially discriminated against, makes me a traitor... then so be it.

Rachel - who recently quit \'Hollyoaks\' after four years - has claimed she experienced racism during her time on the programme.
