    "To show you the sacrifices that NHS staff are making on our behalf."

    A Milton Keynes University Hospital spokesperson said: "We have agreed to give Ross Kemp and a small crew access to capture the amazing efforts of NHS staff in response to COVID-19. This access has been risk assessed and agreed in discussion with NHS England."

    "We believe it’s in the public interest to show them how hospitals are preparing."

    "We are spending minimal time in high risk areas and are ensuring the crew are wearing full PPE, as per national guidelines."

    "As Ross Kemp says, they are replacing any PPE used. We hope this show will provide the general public with vital information and reassurance."

    The episode of 'On The NHS Frontline' is set to air on ITV next Thursday 16th April at 8.30pm.
