Spandau Ballet star Martin Kemp has opened up to the BBC1 The One Show host about his health
Martin Kemp made a poignant admission to his son Roman Kemp, sharing his belief that he only has "10 years" left to live. The Spandau Ballet star opened up during an episode of the podcast 'FFS! My dad Is Martin Kemp', which was aptly titled "Death".
Reflecting back, he said: "By the time I was 34 and I thought I was going to die, I spent two years thinking about it, I was quite happy, I thought: 'If I go, do you know what? What a life, and that was back then'. So every year that I live, every month that I'm alive now is like a bonus." "Everybody around me was saying, 'Don't do it, don't do it. It's going to ruin your career, don't do it'", he recalled during the Dish podcast in 2022. "Well because they hadn't had any name actors in that show before, right? Everybody had grown up with EastEnders, so I was kind of the first one of those name actors to go in."
