British gangster film legend Tamer Hassan has revealed his relatives remain trapped beneath the rubble in Turkey, as the hunt for survivors following Monday's 7.8 magnitude earthquake continue.

Rising to fame during his thirties, Hassan starred alongside Mr Dyer in The Football Factory and Daniel Craig in Layer Cake , as well as hit Christopher Nolan flick Batman Begins. Speaking with Sky News, the 54-year-old actor said: 'We have family missing. Due to the cold weather, we're not hopeful... we're quite worried.
