Ross Kemp was set to join the Oceangate submersible expedition to film a documentary series - but pulled out over safety fears
.
The vessel, which was travelling to the site of the Titanic wreckage, lost contact with its mothership shortly after launching on Sunday. A huge search effort was mobilised, with rescue crews hoping that the sub was simply stuck, the Mirror reports. However, after the production team examined the vessel, the programme was scrapped over safety concerns. His agent, InterTalent boss Professor Jonathan Shalit, said: “Their team checked out this OceanGate submersible and pulled out of using it, as it was simply not considered safe or fit for purpose.
Rear Admiral John Mauger, First Coast Guard District commander, said they had found debris linked to the Titan.
