A new documentary due to be released this week shows the moment Ross Kemp came under fire from ISIS snipers.
The former Eastenders hard man spoke about the incident and, now, initial footage has been released which shows the tense moment when bullets hit the walls behind him.
In the clip, you can see bullets hitting the wall behind him. He joined Kurdish fighters in Syria on the frontline. The new show Ross Kemp: The Fight Against ISIS shows Kemp being forced to run away from the area as snipers fire from a mere 300 metres away near Euphrates river in Syria.

The Daily Mail reported Kemp describing what happened: "There was only no man's land between ISIS and us. You're trying to get as low as you can so you can smell the mud, you can smell the soil all around you. You're thinking: 'Keep your head down. Don't risk putting your head over the parapet when you're moving around'.
"We came under pretty intense sniper fire. You don't hear the bullets moving towards you - they're travelling too fast. Faster than the speed of sound.

"You hear the snap as they break the sound barrier and the snap as they hit the wall. You can feel the air pressure changing - you can feel the whoosh, the whip of the wind around the bullet. You can feel it."
One of the Kurdish fighters he was with had managed to hack the radios that ISIS were using, and they were talking about the shots fired at Kemp.
Absolute scenes.
You can catch the documentary in full when it goes out on Sky 1 on Thursday at 9pm.
