Ross Kemp spotted in Corby

The actor and TV presenter, best known for playing Eastenders hardman Grant Mitchell, was spotted in Saxilby Close this afternoon (Tuesday).

Leigh Robertson, partner Claire Loakes and step-son Alfie McQueen grabbed a selfie with him.

Leigh said: “We were just walking through the Lincoln estate and we saw him.

“We couldn’t believe it really.

“He was filming a TV show about armed police and he was with two police officers.”

Kemp took time to speak to Leigh and the Corby man described him as ‘sound’.

Earlier today Kemp was at Northamptonshire Police’s Wootton Hall HQ.

On Twitter, the force said the actor was working with them on an ‘exciting new project’ coming soon.

As well as his Eastenders role Kemp filmed a documentary series on UK gang culture, Ross Kemp on Gangs, in 2004.

Further series were made about British soldiers fighting the war in Afghanistan, pirates and more.

Kemp has also appeared in an episode of Extras and Top Gear.
