The British documentary maker Ross Kemp turned down the opportunity to film on the Titan submersible, on which five people died this week, after the vessel was deemed unsafe following third-party checks.
The actor, known for his role as Grant Mitchell in EastEnders, rejected the chance to explore the wreck of the Titanic last year after the production company Atlantic Productions advised against travelling on the submersible and raised questions over whether it met industry safety standards.
