Martin Kemp - aka Spandau Ballet's all-round entertainer and nice bloke

Celebrity Catch Up: Life After That Thing I Did

Martin joins Genevieve to reminisce about the heady days of Spandau Ballet when the band was one of the biggest in the world during the 1980s.

He chats about being banned by the BBC, his disasterous first meeting with David Bowie and reveals why he doesn't actually play on one the band's biggest hits, True.

Martin also explains why he had mentally checked out of Spandau Ballet in its last year before they split up and how he experienced a whole new level of fame after his award-winning turn in British soap opera EastEnders.

He opens up about the difficulties he faced after being diagnosed with two brain tumours and why he credits his wife Shirley with saving his life.

Plus he shares a cheeky experience he had in a German sauna...!
