Fans have urged Ross Kemp to “be safe and careful” after the actor and TV presenter took to Instagram to announce a new series.
Ross Kemp new series
He shared in an Instagram video recently that he was in Colombia filming his new Channel 5 documentary, Ross Kemp: 72 Hours In. In the documentary, he’ll look at what it’s like to be incarcerated alongside some of the world’s toughest prisoners. He’ll be on the “frontline of law enforcement’s fight against gangs, ruthless killers and organised crime”.
Keep safe, Ross. You’re too important to suffer some sort of ill fate but we’re very lucky that you do it so that we learn about that aspect of the world.
Among the places he’ll visit are prisons in South America and South East Asia.
Filming in La Picota Prison
Ross said in the video: “Behind me is La Picota Prison and that was where I was all day yesterday. That is where I’m going to be all day today. I just hope they let me out at the end of the day. So, that is what I’m doing right now.”
