The 58-year-old actor and documentary-maker first found fame on BBC soap 'EastEnders' and he loved returning to the channel with his first ever quiz show.

Speaking about 'Bridge of Lies', he told The Sun: "It's something I never expected to do but I really enjoy it. When you get post-50 you should do the things you really enjoy in life.

"Sometimes I've done stuff that I didn't really want to do at points in my life, but now I'm diving around the world, doing a gameshow and making documentaries. Variety is the spice of life."

Ross has become passionate about the environment after working on ocean documentaries and he has teamed up with Lyfecycle, which uses a one-of-a-kind self-destructing plastic technology, to help reduce single-use plastics.

He said: "I've been making diving programmes for the past couple of years in and around British waters and the amount of plastic and dumping that goes on is staggering.

"In the ocean, you see fish with plastic stuck around them. We've seen seals with those things that go around beers round their necks or fins.

"Unless you dive a lot you probably look out at the sea and think it's clean, but it's not and it's getting worse.

"Admittedly there's been a lot of ignorance in the last 40 years.

"But we have to start listening to the planet and if there's any technology we can use to aid and abet and to claw our way back then we should grab it with both hands."
