After the future Queen visited the I’m A Celebrity star’s home, Martin Kemp’s son, Roman, revealed their surprising friendship with the Princess of Wales with their famous family.
I’m A Celebrity star Martin Kemp’s son, Roman, has revealed the surprising gift Kate Middleton was given after visiting his famous family. The future Queen of England met the Spandau Ballet star, 64, and his wife, Shirlie, after getting in touch with Roman to talk about a mental health project he’d been fronting.
After a Zoom call with The One Show host, 32, who finished third on I’m A Celebrity in 2019, it was decided that Kate would go to Martin and Shirlie’s house to film with Roman – much to the delight of his parents.
Upon arrival, the former Capital FM host revealed the Princess of Wales was quick to offer to take off her shoes and was later gifted some of the Kemp family’s scrumptious homemade apple juice, which apparently went down a storm with Prince George.

Roman said in a discussion of the day with The Sun on Saturday: “My mum ran out and got a lot of nice things in, and suddenly the future queen is having tea and biscuits with her and my dad!”
“I remember when she arrived she could see everyone else had taken their shoes off so she offered to take hers off. It was surreal, somehow you never expect to see a member of the Royal Family in their socks!’
The Princess wrote them a thank-you letter a few weeks later, adding that Prince George, the heir to the throne, was requesting more than just a bottle of the apple juice they make in their backyard, according to Roman.
Martin became a household name in the 1980s with Spandau Ballet before going on to star in The Krays and EastEnders. The musician and actor now appears to be enjoying life Down Under surprised his campmates on I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! earlier this week when he revealed he had been in the running to be 007.
“I was up for James Bond, I met Barbara Broccoli,” he told his co-stars around the campfire.
Everyone was left speechless after reliving his encounter with the well-known 007 film producer. “Did that in my youth,” Martin continued.
The father-of-two has been married to his beloved Shirlie since 1988, who also became famous in the 1980s with Pepsi and Shirlie.
Roman and Harley Moon Kemp, the couple’s two children, are growing up together. The two siblings’ current appearances in Celebrity Race Across the World are.
