Welcome To HMP Belmarsh With Ross Kemp, a new two-part documentary looking at life inside the infamous prison, begins tonight on ITV and we’ve got two preview clips from the show.
Fronted by actor turned documentary maker Ross Kemp, tonight’s episode sees Ross come face-to-face with former English Defence League leader Tommy Robinson who was imprisoned for contempt for 9 weeks in 2019. The first of two clips sees Ross taking Tommy to task for encouraging his supporters to protest for his release.
