A rising British actor is facing a potential jail sentence after he admitted racially abusing his ex-girlfriend.
James Howson, who played Heathcliff in a 2011 movie version of Emily Bronte's classic novel Wuthering Heights, hurled a racist insult at former lover Shakira Ramdihal.
Howson pleaded guilty to racially harassing Asian Ramdihal and was told by a judge in Leeds, England he could face a prison term when he is sentenced next month (Feb12).
