Ross Kemp was keen to join doomed Titan sub mission but his team stopped him at the last minute
Read more:Professor Jonathan Shalit, of Kemp's agency InterTalent, 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.The documentary-star has done deep-sea dives before exploring shipwrecks, but never to the extreme depths offered by OceanGate.
"But when provisional enquiries were made with OceanGate, the question was asked: 'How much training does he need to go down in the submersible to the Titanic?'"The company was looked at initially because they were a well-known organisation, but after Atlantic [Productions] started asking questions, any plans quickly unravelled."
Mr Kemp's comments come amid ongoing reports from experts who had expressed their concerns over the safety of the sub before its fateful dive.
