Ross Kemp may be best known to many soap fans for playing womaniser Grant Mitchell in EastEnders, but did you know his own love life is equally as eventful off screen?
Throughout his decade long soap career as EastEnders womaniser Grant Mitchell, actor Ross Kemp delighted audiences with a series of scandalous love triangles, secret affairs and shock romances on of the the country’s best loved soaps.
Sensing a clear chemistry between them, the pair began dating and in 1996, the smitten duo announced their engagement - however just one year later their wedding plans were put on hold “due to work pressures” as the couple struggled to juggle the demands of soap stardom and a busy journalism career. Following the incident, the duo decided to separate in 2006, with their divorce being finalised three years later in 2009.
However, following the split it was revealed that Nicole had given birth to Ross’ first child, a baby boy named Oliver. However, in one rare reflection on his relationship, Ross previously revealed Renee didn't know him from his soap days playing Grant, and thought he was just “some kind of grumpy old bald bloke”.
She'd never seen EastEnders. She had no idea I was Grant Mitchell or anything like that and she didn't really understand that I was doing documentaries," Ross said.
