Ross Kemp nearly went on Titanic submarine before safety concerns halted filming

Former Eastenders actor Ross Kemp had a narrow escape - as he almost went down in the Titan submarine for a documentary series. The TV presenter, 58, had been due to go on the Oceangate submersible to film the Titanic for a documentary series.

However it was decided to cancel the sequence because the expert production company behind the programme said it was “not considered safe”. This week the Titan submersible was lost with all hands when it disappeared while diving on the wreck of the Titanic.

It is believed to have suffered a ‘catastrophic implosion’ at the great depth, and five people sadly died. And now, it has been revealed that Ultimate Force star Ross, 58, was chosen to front a documentary that would require him to dive down in the submersible.
