The British-Turkish star Tamer Hassan spoke to Sky News about the devastation in Turkey and how it is personally impacted him and his family. Tamer, whose daughter Belle is a Love Island star, is now leading a campaign to raise £100,000 to help with humanitarian aid.
He held back tears as he said: “We have family missing. Due to the cold weather, we’re not hopeful… we’re quite worried.
“I have no words. We’re all devastated. We have family that are lost, not found.
“I’m currently in Cyprus, I’ll be heading over to Turkey in the next couple of days.
“We are here raising money, sending over supplies and trying to find a route into Turkey and into the worst affected areas.”

Although he was born in London, Turkey will always be considered his home and he is keen to help those in need.
Tamer made the appeal after it was revealed relatives of Love Island winner Ekin-Su Culculoglu were also suffering.
He added: “The biggest distress for me is that there are some areas there that have been completely flattened with no help.
“That’s our biggest fear, so what we are trying to do here is ascertain exactly where the most help is needed.
Speaking of being in Cyprus, he said: “This whole island is devastated by what has gone on here, the kids that haven’t been found.
“So many people from Cyprus are over there as well, so many people from the UK are flying over there.
“I said I would be there as well, it’s just to help everyone. The fear again, I keep saying, is we are trying to find a route in.
“We know that everything is needed from medicine, water, petrol.”
