Sliding Doors

LOOK BACK: Martin Kemp


Listen Later

With our 100th episode nearly upon us, I have decided to delve into the archives and listen back to some of my favourite episodes from the past 3.5 years! Over the coming weeks we will re-release the Sliding Doors moments from some great guests and discuss some of my thoughts and feeling. You can also go back and listen to the full episodes anytime wherever you get your podcasts!


Martin Kemp is an actor, musician and director, best known as the base guitarist in Spandau Ballet and for playing the role of Steve Owen in Eastenders. Spandau Ballet became one of the biggest bands of the 80s, touring the world and having huge success with songs such as 'True' and 'Gold.' Martin is equally known for his acting career staring in films such as 'The Krays' and playing Billy Flynn in the West End, as well as winning best male actor at the NTAs for his villainous role as Steve Owen. He has also written two books including one with Shirlie, his lovely wife of over 30 years, and success runs in the family with his son Roman and daughter Harley. Today he can be seen on our screen as a fan favourite on Celebrity Gogglebox and touring around the UK with his Back to the 80's DJ sets!


In this episode Martin opens up on his amazing life journey and all the stepping stone moments that have got him to where he is today, as well as some great stories and memories! We chat about his dreams and visualisations of being a pop star and the moment when that finally came true! Martin opens up about the traumatic time when he discovered his brain tumours and how being offered a role in Eastenders ultimately saved his life. He has a brilliant outlook on life and embracing the opportunities we are presented with. And when we really drill it down, if he hadn't have gone to drama club....would he be where he is today?
