Former EastEnders star Ross Kemp has revealed that he found it difficult to adjust to life when he returned from filming in Afghanistan.

He told Zoo magazine: “I was driving through London on my way home, and people were just on their way to work… And suddenly I felt furious – all I could think was that the guys out there were going to get shot at today, and these people didn’t give a f**k.!

He continued: “I felt they should – particularly after my sixth pint.

“My girlfriend actually had to take me home, because I’d got so angry that I wanted to start punching people. The pressure being out there – the knowledge that you could get blown up at any point – messes with your head. You don’t see people losing legs and bodies being put in bags without it having an effect on you.”

Ross, 45, is currently planning his next documentary, which will be “pretty damn dangerous”, but he couldn’t give any more details for his own safety.

“It’s moving into a different area, so I’ll be shot down in flames if I don’t get it absolutely spot on.”
