"During one engagement between B Company and the Taliban, we were pinned down by enemy fire in open ground," he says. "Bullets fizzed inches from our heads, hitting the ground on either side of us. It was the most frightening experience of my life. I've never hugged the ground as tightly as I did when that happened. It's definitely the closest I have ever come to dying. I was so scared." linkRoss Kemp in Afghanistan launches at 9pm on Monday January 21 on Sky One and Sky One HD in the UK.
