Speaking to The Huffington Post, the cage-fighter admitted he’s been keeping a low profile in a bid to build his credibility:
“Well I was in Hollyoaks and I've often thought about going into ‘EastEnders’ so maybe one day, but I love everything to do with acting and that's why I've been boxing very clever for the last few years after my crazy media pantomime.
"I'm building my credibility back."

Alex Reid and Katie Price wed in 2010, but the relationship ended in 2011 after Price called time on their marriage.[/caption]
Apparently the 39-year old has also been working on his presenting skills, having just completed filming on a documentary about elephants in Africa:
“I actually just made an award-winning film and I'm making another one. I've not turned my back on acting and I love presenting. So roll on the new Ross Kemp.
"I'm just about to go out and make a film about elephants in Africa and tribes of people out there and we've called it ‘The Last Dance’ and we film that in August. I'm involved in a couple of action projects but until they come to fruition I don't like to shout too much."
Only time will tell if Eastenders bosses will offer him a role, but with the newest recruits Bonnie Langford and Paul Nicholas set to star in the soap, there might be room for a cage-fighter character in the works.Explore more on these topics:
