Intrepid reporter Ross Kemp reveals he would like to make an investigative TV documentary looking into the Grenfell Tower fire.
The seemingly fearless presenter of Sky 1's Extreme World series would like to investigate and document key UK news stories in a future series.
Kemp is currently in search of a new broadcaster following Sky 1's recent announcement that they would be dropping his series.
"It’s an ever-changing world and there are loads of subjects I would love to do, " the 52-year old presenter told the Press Association:
"There are always issues in the UK that I would like to cover… the amount of stabbings we’ve had in London recently is off the scale and I don’t think enough is being done about that, but in the light of what’s happened recently, in terms of the Grenfell Tower fire and the Manchester and London terror attacks, it has been overshadowed."
Kemp was a guest on the This Morning TV programme yesterday when he revealed that his toughest experience had been in India. "I met somebody who was trafficking young girls for sex. And he, on camera – I didn't know he was going to do it – admitted to killing around 300 of them," he explained.
"And I don't mind meeting bad people and interviewing them, but when they start feeling sorry for themselves for things that they do... that's the only time that I really, really nearly lost it."
"My translator heard it first. She started crying, and then he started crying – and I got so angry, because he started to feel sorry for himself.
Kemp recalled how he ended the interview and told his crew to "get him out of my sight before I kill him".
As for any new series, he is now in need a broadcasting station. "If I’ve got a broadcaster then of course I will, but there’s no point me doing it on my own because I’ll just have to do it on my iPhone.
"I would rather do it justice with a proper cameraman and have a platform to broadcast it on."
His final Extreme World season commences tomorrow, Sunday. The first film in the series explores racial divisions and gang violence in the USA.
He meets black gang members, prison inmates, police officers and white supremacists, and invesdtigates whether the Southern states of the USA are facing future race war.
