Ross Kemp Stars as Corrupt Copper in New Channel 5 Thriller

Ross Kemp takes on the role of a disgraced police officer in a new four-part thriller on Channel 5. The actor, known for his tough-guy image, plays a 'put out to pasture' detective accused of corruption by a CCTV surveillance worker.

The drama follows Hannah, played by Beth Alsbury, who witnessed a fatal attack a year earlier. When she believes she spots the same attacker committing another crime in a CCTV blindspot, she reports her suspicions to the police, leading to a tense confrontation with Kemp's character.

Channel 5 has not commented on the cancellation of Kemp's previous documentary project, but the actor's shift to scripted drama marks a new direction for the former 'EastEnders' star. The thriller series airs tonight as part of the channel's evening lineup.
