He said he wanted to prove his worth and has secretly crossed back into northern Syria.

In an interview with Channel 4 last night the 52-year-old said: "None of the soldiers I fought with said that at all.

"The only people who have said anything negative were the people I came with from the academy which was the place we trained.

"They didn’t want me there.

"I had no military background.

"I was an actor and I didn’t realise they really looked down on that.

"And I am old so far as they are concerned.";

He added: “Somebody has to stand up.

"Somebody’s got to.

"I mean as we speak right now, you know, little girls are being raped.

"You know we should stand up to that."
