Tamer Hassan fought back tears as he opened up about his family missing in Turkey after the earthquake.
The 7.8-magnitude quake is the deadliest in over a decade as the death toll hit 15,000 people on Thursday.
Around 70 members of the UK International Search and Rescue Team have arrived in the Middle Eastern country to assist with the search operation.
Among those volunteering their help is The Football Factory star, who is the father of Love Island’s Belle Hassan.
The 54-year-old appeared on Thursday’s Sky News, in which he revealed his plans to fly out to join the search effort.
The gangster movie star also broke down as he revealed his ‘worry’ about missing family members who live in the area.

Choking up, Tamer said: ‘We have family missing. Due to the cold weather, we’re not hopeful… we’re quite worried.’
He continued: ‘In the next couple of days, we’re here raising money, sending over supplies, and trying to find a route into Turkey and to the worst affected areas that the biggest distress for me is that there are some areas that are being completely flat and with no help. That’s our biggest fear.
